I have attached a screen shot of the issue. The issue occurs when Emacs is in split window mode, X session and M-x shell is invoked. The shell is ksh93. I tried finding the Emacs bug tracker, however this is the only method I found to file a bug. This has been reproduced by others. Screenshot of issue: http://nickpapadonis.com/images-share/emacs-ksh-0.png PS2 is printed multiple times during the resize. When entered is pressed after the resize, multiple ^L s are displayed. I set PS2="" and the brackets are omitted, however ^L still remain after pressing enter. Is this a known issue? I have CC'd KSH list in case the problem is on the ksh93 side. Thanks Emacs 26.1 build 2. 1 [debian:~]$ echo $0 -ksh93 2 [debian:~]$ ksh93 --version version sh (AT&T Research) 93u+ 2012-08-01 3 [debian:~]$ echo ${.sh.version} Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01
