** [tickets:#78] "set status-interval 0" doesn't work on tmux 1.8**
**Status:** open
**Created:** Thu Nov 14, 2013 05:59 PM UTC by CleanCut
**Last Updated:** Thu Nov 14, 2013 05:59 PM UTC
**Owner:** nobody
Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
Install tmux 1.8
Create the following `~/.tmux.conf`, launch tmux, and notice that the time in
the bottom right corner is updated once per second -- **good!**
set -g status-right "%H:%M:%S"
set -g status-interval 1
Quit tmux, and make sure no tmux sessions are running.
Change your `~/.tmux.conf` to look like this, which _ought_ to make it so that
the time only updates when tmux needs to update the screen for some other
reason.
set -g status-right "%H:%M:%S"
set -g status-interval 0
Launch tmux again and notice that the time in the bottom right corner is
_still_ updating once per second. **Bad!**
Now while still in the misbehaving session, try `C-b :set status-interval 0` --
you will notice that that also has no effect -- the time keeps updating every
second.
Discussion
----------
Why is it ignoring the new setting? Where did it get the old value of the
setting? (If it ignored the current setting, I would have expected it to
revert to the default setting (a status-interval of 15), not the old setting
which _no longer exists!_
My Setup
--------
I tested this on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) with tmux 1.8 installed via HomeBrew
with the command `brew install tmux`.
I also tested this on CentOS 6.4 where I installed tmux 1.8 via these commands:
yum install -y gcc kernel-devel make ncurses-devel
cd /root
wget
https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
tar zxvf libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-2.0.21-stable
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make -j9
make install
cd /root
rm -rf libevent-2.0.21-stable*
wget
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tmux/files/tmux/tmux-1.8/tmux-1.8.tar.gz/download
tar zxvf tmux-1.8.tar.gz
cd tmux-1.8
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib" ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local
make -j9
make install
cd /root
rm -rf tmux-1.8*
The bad behavior appeared to be identical between the two OS's, so I would
guess this is not an OS-specific bug.
