Subject: bug#16470: 24.3.50; term mode and newlines with some window configurations
Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:15:43 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B69E121-3153-45CF-9903-D1294FDE4B8B@gmail.com> (raw)
Working with a build from today's Git mirror, revision 41c2162. Running Emacs with -Q.
Something is wrong with term.el's handling of newlines in some window configurations.
The following steps reproduce the bug consistently on my machine:
0. Make sure you have no .zshrc file in your home directory.
1. Start Emacs (with -Q).
2. Stretch the frame so it has enough room for three reasonably large vertical splits.
3. Make 3 equally-sized vertical windows (C-x 3, C-x 3, C-x 3, C-x =).
4. Put your cursor in the right-most window.
5. Run M-x term, then select /bin/zsh as your shell. You should immediately see the inverted '%' which indicates newline oddness with zsh. If you run any command, e.g., ls, you will see '%' at the end of all output.
6. Try running 'unsetopt prompt_sp' in the zsh instance. You'll see the '%' go away, but this is undesirable, because it means that, e.g., 'echo -n hi' does not work properly.
Here is where things get even more strange.
7. exit from the zsh shell and kill the *terminal* buffer.
8. C-x 1 so you have just one empty *scratch* window.
9. M-x term, select /bin/zsh again.
10. No bad '%' behavior occurs now.
To summarize: when you make three vertical windows, term.el's handling of newlines breaks. The behavior seems tied to window splits. I have tried this with term-suppress-hard-newline set to t and nil, and it does not seem to make a difference.
