I received the similar issue on github,
https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw/issues/1

In the current implementation, invalidating images and deleting the
`display' property are simple solution.

But I would try to display images in calfw.

I also think key binding should be improved.
I would try to implement TAB key navigation you mentioned.

The problem of navigation is discussed on the github issue too.

I will do this. Thank you for your helpful code.

Instead of `length', the function `string-width' of mule.el should be
used to calculate display width of the string. This function treats
not only East Asian characters but also complex Unicode ones. Some
functions, such as `cfw:render-truncate', use it.

However, it is not so easy for Japanese users to fit a grid, because
of the font and rendering problems of Emacs. One can find many
Japanese blog articles about beautiful font setting on Emacs.


Thank you for your many comments.
