Konsole is broken. Some characters take up two logical positions. If such a 
character is used to determine the max_bound, the width of characters that 
take up a single logical position will be double as wide as they should be.

See konsole_wcwidth.cpp for the routine that determines how many logical 
positions a character should take.
