^L showing up in Emacs M-x shell-mode, with ksh but not bash

^L showing up in Emacs M-x shell-mode, with ksh but not bash

[Nicholas Papadonis]

When Emacs is invoked in an X-session and when I resize a M-x shell-mode
*shell* window by more then a single line of text, $PS2 is being output in
the shell mode window.  When I type <return> then a number of "^L"s are
also output in the shell mode window.

I'm using /bin/ksh93 in Debian.

This behavior does not occur with bash.

Does anyone know why this is happening?  Also, more ways to debug it?

Thank you

[Nicholas Papadonis]

I confirmed this behavior is still present without any special init
scripts.  I created a new account to check it.

No idea what's happening, but I wouldn't leap to the conclusion that $PS2
is being displayed. Given the presence of the [ctrl-L] chars it's just as
likely that both chars are being sent to the shell. Possibly
bracketed-paste mode is enabled by the emacs shell mode. If you start the
shell, then in a different window strace it what appears in the trace when
you resize the window? Also, you might want to try the current development
version that you'll find at https://github.com/att/ast/
<https://github.com/att/ast/pull/1427>. It's easy to build if you're
willing to install Meson.

P.S., You might want to take a look at https://asciinema.org for capturing
terminal sessions for playback.

This is what the child ksh M-x shell process is doing when I resize the
window.  As you can see the write of ">  " near the end.  Hopefully some
folks have more insight into this.

[Nicholas Papadonis]

The "^L"s are coming from this trace.

Is anyone running ksh93 in Emacs shell-mode?

Re: ^L showing up in Emacs M-x shell-mode, with ksh but not bash

[Perry Smith]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 8415 bytes --]

I think you said that you created a new user and this still happens?

My guess is that this is something to do with your .profile, .kshrc, etc.  Don’t
forget about the profile and rc files in /etc.  I don’t recall which ones ksh93 loads.

What OS is this on?

Re: ^L showing up in Emacs M-x shell-mode, with ksh but not bash

[Kurtis Rader]

I can't reproduce this. And I don't see anything in the strace output that
would account for the \f chars. Which strongly suggests something like a
use-after-free bug or using an uninitialized var. We've fixed a huge number
of such bugs in the past two years thanks to updating the project so that
we can employ tools like libc's debug malloc and ASAN. Honestly, I don't
think there is much point in further debugging until you are able to
reproduce this problem using the current source; or at least the 2020.0.0
stable release we recently announced. If you can't build from source you
should be able to use a binary built for a comparable Linux distro such as
Ubuntu or Fedora. Happy to give you a current binary from one of my Linux
VMs I use for testing.

Re: ^L showing up in Emacs M-x shell-mode, with ksh but not bash

[Nicholas Papadonis]

I also note using "set -o vi" only a single "> " is printed when resizing
the window.  I wonder why "PS2" which is for a long line that must be
broken up is printed.

In the meantime, I will install Debian 10 and try there.
