Thanks, here's a patch that should fix the issues, formatted with "git
format-patch", but with one caveat: in your example above, the
background of the character "s" at the beginning of the string "some
sample text" is drawn too wide, but I wasn't able to find the problem.

Could you please take a look at it?  Thanks.

I don't know how to apply the fixes to xterm.c to the other window
systems, so someone who can needs to apply them to the NS and MS-Windows
ports.
