Here is an update on this problem. These links: a.. https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1741 b.. https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1064 Describe a problem with fish shell on FreeBSD & OpenBSD, similar to what I am experiencing on DragonFlyBSD.
Apparently the problem will disappear with the next release of fish. And there's no patch for the problem in current versions of fish, because the fix is a planned radical architectural change. So I'm going to contact the fish forum for more details. Steve
