Motivation
Closes: #3494
Closes: #2446
This PR addresses an issue where UTF-8 encoded text uses incorrect offsets within the language server. The language server was calculating offsets using the number of code points, but UTF-8 code units match the number of bytes (as explained in the spec).
Implementation
To fix this issue, the
Scanner
class was updated to calculate offset by taking a byte slice of the current text up until a given position, and return the number of chars within the given slice. This number was then added to the offset provided by the new character, which results in a correct char offset.Automated Tests
Added some unit tests.
Manual Tests
Tested in neo-vim.
