In XTerm, this (rightly) makes no difference. In Foot and Contour however, you still end up a line resp. a screen below where you started, if now with the correct horizontal position.
So it seems to me like what you want should work by default, except it doesn’t.
It should be possible to instead just treat the whole thing as a graphical overlay (by computing or directly asking for the character cell size, as Kirill Panov rightly admonishes me is possible with XTWINOPS) without touching the cursor; that’s what the “sixel scrolling” setting (DECSDM) is supposed to do. Then you can just manually move the cursor forward however many positions after you’re done drawing.
Except apparently the DEC manual (the VT330/340 one above) and DEC hardware contradict each other as to which setting of DECSDM (set or reset) corresponds to which scrolling state (enabled or disabled), and XTerm has implemented it according to the manual not the VT3xx[1,2,3]—then most other emulators followed suit[4]—then XTerm switched to following the hardware[5,6] (unless you and that’s what I’m seeing on my machine right now. So now you need to check if you’re on XTerm ≥ 369 or not[7]. If I’m reading the Notcurses code right, other terminals have followed suit[8].
Again, ouch.
P.S. It seems DEC had an internal doc for how their terminals should operate (DEC STD 070) [9]. It does not document DECSDM at all.

Illustrator CC v17 installer for Gnu/Linux

Project mention: Adobe Illustrator on Steam Deck | /r/SteamDeck | 2023-10-19

I've been trying to install the Adobe programs (Illustrator, Photoshop and Premier pro) on steam deck. I have Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 v23.0.1 (.exe file) ready to install Illustrator, however when I try to open it through Bottles it doesn't seem to do anything. There's no error message and nothing pops up. I've tried using this link https://github.com/Gictorbit/illustratorCClinux I followed the steps, but I just got Konsole errors while putting in some of the commands. Has anyone been able to get this or something similar to work? Maybe I could run Bottles with dependencies, but I'm not sure which ones would work. If anyone has any information on this, I'd greatly appreciate the help.
