Package: zsh-beta Version: 4.3.0-dev-1+20050815-1 Severity: minor I recently installed zsh-beta to be able to use the new UTF-8 support (thanks!) and noticed an oddity I've never seen before. Sometimes, when I ssh into my machine (with zsh-beta as the shell, with the 8-bit option on), and it takes a bit of time, I manage to type parts of the next command before I get the shell. In some of these cases, zsh seems to echo back the command (white on black as usual) followed by an inverted (ie. black on white) hash mark, then gives me the prompt and the full command (as it should).
A picture speaks a thousand words: http://home.samfundet.no/~sesse/zsh-oddity.png Note that I was writing “true” after the password, while it was still logging in. This is not reproducible all of the time, but I can usually do it on three or four attempts. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.8 Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages zsh-beta depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpcre3 5.0-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii passwd 1:4.0.3-39 change and administer password and zsh-beta recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
