2 more fbcon rotation bugs

Hi Antonino,
For rotation values of 1 and 3 in combination with unusual font heights
there are
serious cursor problems:
standard 8x16 and arial 22x24: ok
comic 16x26 and bitstream 16x30: broken as described below.
1: Load e.g. bitstream 16x30 font and switch to rotation 1.
2: At the bash prompt, type "asdf > qwer" without the quotation marks
and without
hitting enter.
3: Try to delete the letters q,w,e,r and reenter them. Everything works
fine.
4: Now place the cursor immediately behind the letter f and delete it.
Everything ok.
5. Hit the key f to reenter that letter .... now something breaks:
a: an f is inserted at the correct position
b: an f flashes for a short period at the place of the first space,
then it is overwritten
by the correct space character and the blinking cursor
c: the > at the right of the cursor is permanently overwritten with
a blank and a
frozen underline of the cursor, the line now reads asdf _ _ qwer.
Deleting and reinserting the other characters before the > gives similar
results, e.g.
for the letter s the result is "asdd > qwer", the first d switching from
s to d fast but
visible and with the blinking cursor, the 2nd d (that should be an f)
permanently
underlined.
No problems are visible if only one string of letters (even a long one)
is entered and
edited at the bash prompt.
Any idea where to start? Can you reproduce the odd behaviour? My first
idea was
to look into ccw_cursor() and cw_cursor(), but as there are no errors
for long strings
if they do not contain spaces, > or other signs of a special meaning to
bash, I suppose
that this is not the right/only place to start. My system is slow (Via
Eden cpu, 533Mhz),
could it be that the bug is invisible on faster machines? ...
cu,
Knut
