Additional context

gif demonstrating the issue.

this happens with the press API of puppeteer only. i.e

page.keyboard.press()

const handle = page.waitForSelector('button'); handle.press()

Thank you for your report. I'll investigate it.

I get something similar for lua files:

Hello! Did you find any solutions? @hrsh7th @Abh15h3k @PetarMetodiev @BitInByte

Hi. Is this issue being worked on ?

Currently i have a hack to hide the error ( not actually fixed the error ).

in window.lua inside cmp changed this line height = height + math.max(1, math.ceil(vim.fn.strdisplaywidth(text) / self.style.width)) to this

local ok, result = pcall(vim.fn.strdisplaywidth, text)
if not ok then result = 0 end
height = height + math.max(1, math.ceil(result / self.style.width))

with this change the error no longer shows. but it is still there. I ultimately resorted to this hack because it was getting very frustrating to have that error come with every keystroke at times.

@hrsh7th Please take a look at the issue.

Edit: I just realized that this will hide the error in some cases only. My current understanding of the issue is that there is some "problem" characters in the text which causes vim.fn.strdisplaywidth to error out.

My hack above fixes this for the doc popup ( I was experiencing this is pyright lsp ) There are other places where the hack can be applied.
