Here is the offending line in neofetch, which unhides the cursor and enables line wrap on exit: # If the script exits for any reason, unhide the cursor. trap 'printf "\e[?25h\e[?7h"' EXIT The value of $env in security(8) evaluates the following string when it breaks: ^[[?25h^[[?7hENV= So I'm assuming bash exits without a terminating newline, or rather the newline comes before the control code to reset the terminal. In an interactive terminal this goes unnoticed but if you are parsing the output for some crazy reason.... Honestly this is probably a corner case but in any circumstance the output of stdout should not be trusted.... Thanks for the commit. Regards Lloyd
