Ahoj,

I built the (almost) latest state of this git repository (git commit hash: f751eb2 from 2026-05-27) using this recipe on Artix GNU/Linux (rolling release):

export RUSTUP_HOME="${srcdir}/.rustup"
export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable
export CARGO_HOME="${srcdir}/.cargo"
export CARGO_TARGET_DIR=target

cargo fetch --locked --target host-tuple
cargo build --frozen --release --all-features

When I compose a message:

  • <Pos1> and <End> keys do not work (cursor stays where it is),
  • when I am in the middle of a text and press <Del>, instead of just deleting the next character some not-rendered (unicode?) character seems to be inserted in place of the character which is to deleted.
    Screenshots:
    1. Entered text -- cursor is between b and c:
      Image
    2. After pressing <Del>:
      Image
      (Yes, although it seems to be two characters: A box and a space, it behaves like one character (Moving the cursor passes through both the box and the whitespace).)

Regards!
