(mentioning "crontab" in the bug title and raising the severity because "crontab -l" modifies the terminal output status, which can affect the shell and subsequent commands).

I also get this incorrect yellow background on empty space, which occurs when the terminal has to scroll. I confirm the prompt issue with dash and bash: it seems that crontab leaves the non-default background in effect, which can affect the prompt output, but also the subsequent commands run in the terminal. I don't have this issue with my zsh config, but this is because my zsh prompt sets the background color (and does a sgr0 at the end). BTW, even with this fixed, the yellow background is a bad idea. I have a terminal with a black background, so that the yellow background is very ugly. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
