When I tried to run the codes in the Wiki of TextView,
I modified the codes because I wanted to highlight some chars instead of words.
Here's the code:

And then I got the result like this:

There're many unexpected line breaks after the target char ('t' in this example).

Is this a bug?
Or there's another way to achieve the goal: highlight single char without line breaks?

PS: I also want to refresh the screen char by char, that's why I called time.Sleep() in each round.

My Env:

OS = MacOS Ventura 13.5.1
Term = Alacritty
Font = Hack Nerd Font
