Package: irb1.8
Version: 1.8.4-3
Severity: minor
Hi
I configured irb to use a colored prompt using escape codes. But it seems
to calculate the terminal width using the size of the prompt string, so the
width is too short (e.g. in a 80x25 terminal the line breaks after 70 chars,
and then continues at the beginning of the same line, writing over the prompt
and already entered text.
I guess escape codes should be stripped first, or maybe readline already
has support for this? The same thing works fine with ipython, which also
uses readline and has a colored prompt.
Here's the relevant part from .irbrc (replace ^[ with escapes):
IRB.conf[:IRB_RC] = proc do |conf|
leader = " " * (conf.irb_name.length + conf.workspace.main.to_s.length + 3)
conf.prompt_i = "%N[%m] ^[[1;34m>>>^[[0m "
conf.prompt_s = leader + " ^[[1;32m..^[[0m "
conf.prompt_n = conf.prompt_c = "%N[%m] ^[[1;32m..^[[0m "
conf.return_format = " ^[[1;31m::^[[0m %s\n"
end
Cheers,
Markus

Ten years later ruby1.8 is history. Closing the last bug now, assuming
this is fixed in newer versions.
