I encountered this pretty strange bug when I was trying to fix my Vim
cursor color.
I am using Terminator and I found out that the cursor colors for my
color scheme were not working. I did a Google search and was brought
to this site where I used this snippet of code:
if &term =~ "xterm\\|rxvt"
" use an orange cursor in insert mode
let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]12;orange\x7"
" use a red cursor otherwise
let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]12;red\x7"
silent !echo -ne "\033]12;red\007"
" reset cursor when vim exits
autocmd VimLeave * silent !echo -ne "\033]112\007"
" use \003]12;gray\007 for gnome-terminal
endif
The cursor colors changed and things worked fine. However, I
encountered a weird bug after including this code. Say I opened a new
terminal, entered Vim and then just quit. My shell prompt will
suddenly go to the bottom of the terminal and there would be a huge
chunk of whitespace/newlines between the top of the terminal (where
the previous prompt was) and the new prompt at the bottom of the
terminal. I commented out this line:
silent !echo -ne "\033]12;red\007"
Change that line to:
silent !echo -e "\033]12;red\007"
('-e' instead of '-ne')
Same on this line:
autocmd VimLeave * silent !echo -ne "\033]112\007"
to:
autocmd VimLeave * silent !echo -e "\033]112\007"
Terminator seemingly doesn't completely consume the echo'ed escape
sequence if it doesn't have the trailing newline (-n means "no
newline").
