moveCursor not functioning properly. #2316

Description

Brief summary of issue / Description of requested feature:

In svof, all uses of moveCursor appear bugged, creating broken displays.

Steps to reproduce the issue / Reasons for adding feature:

  1. Svof uses moveCursor to display messages before the actual text that fired a trigger. For example, when detecting a wunjo ground rune when using QL, it will begin the room description with "(wunjo:cure blind)".
  2. Since the upgrade to 3.17.0, this code no longer functions properly, and I believe this is related to moveCursor, because any other use of moveCursor displays similar bugs. For example, here is the beginning of the QL text of a room with Wunjo and Nairat:

Blackstone parade ground.
Swunjo:cur)e blind (nairat:)entangle (unset falls, casting the clouds above in a shadowy array of
darks and silvers and lending the sky a purplish cast.

As you can see, the text insertion is all wrong, and even the close parenthesis is wrong.

  1. Note that svof was not updated, so the only change was mudlet itself. The code that produces this output can be seen in the trigger "svo Rune Identifier-->On a person/ground-->Regex".

Extra information, such as Mudlet version, operating system and ideas for how to solve / implement:

Issue started immediately on upgrade to mudlet 3.17.0.
