Windows Git Bash cursor position / character width issue

[mtwalsh]

I type some text and then use the arrow keys to go back a few characters and then when I advance it re-paints the text but a few characters forward. I'm also not able to bring the cursor right back to the start of the text:

Hyper 1.0.0
Electron 1.4.7
win32 x64 10.0.14393
Shell: Git Bash v2.11.0

Related to #1174

I'm not getting the same issue when using the Windows Command Prompt, just when using Git Bash as the shell.

@mtwalsh could you try to reproduce on this branch?

I don't have Windows PC to test :(

[jonathanrdelgado]

@dotcypress Just tried it with that branch, can still reproduce it.

This might be an upstream issue with pty.js. I mentioned in #1174 that this problem occurs with the VSCode integrated terminal as well.

[mtwalsh]

Yes, same issue for me on that branch I'm afraid.

I'm pleased to report this has been fixed in v1.2.1.

Thank you!
