I'm unable to reproduce any of this on my system.  Both files display
correctly, and the problems after deleting character and/or after
displaying the file in a -nw session don't happen.

This could be specific to macOS, where AFAIK the display is
implemented slightly differently from the other platforms.  Or maybe
something else is at work here.  For the -nw problems, this could
perhaps be related to the terminal emulator you are using (just a
guess, I have no real explanation how that could hide entire portions
of the file's display).

P.S. The site which you use to post the files is problematic: its
certificate is expired or invalid, and at least on one of my systems
wget said the TLS handshake failed, perhaps for the same reason.
