Package: ncurses-base
Version: 5.4-5
Severity: normal
Hi,
After I updated ncurses-base to 5.4-5 and restarted my terminal emulator, I
got parts of escape sequences in my zsh prompt. Zsh seems to insert such
escape sequences before all prompts and messages, so I have "[27m" strings
all over the place, of which zsh doesn't know that they aren't displayed so
everything gets misaligned and messy.
For example my prompt:
PS1="[EMAIL PROTECTED] "
and translated (for non-zsh users):
PS1="user@<bold><white>host</white></bold>% "
is displayed with TERM set to xterm xterm-debian as:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am currently using "rxvt" terminal info, this work-around seems to work for
now. I am sorry that I have almost no knowledge about terminal emulators and
terminal info internals, so please let me know if you need more information.
Greetings,
Paul
