it might be a bug in fish but that seems unlikely if you're running a
recent fish version. The fish_greeting is only shown when a new interactive
shell is started just before the first prompt is displayed. Can you provide
a script that would allow someone else to recreate the problem? Also, what
does "echo $FISH_VERSION" output? if you're running a fish version older
than 2.3.0 I'd want to know if you can reproduce the problem with 2.3.0 or
2.3.1.
