** Bug watch added: github.com/tmux/tmux/issues #2636 https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/2636 ** Description changed: choose-window produces a sensibly aligned list on centos7 (tmux-1.8-4.el7.x86_64): (0) 0: htop "umari" (1) 1: bash "umari" (2) 2: bash- "umari" (3) 3: bash* "umari" and ubuntu xenial (tmux 2.1-3build1): (0) 0: [tmux]- "jocur" (1) 1: bash* "jocur" but more recent versions produce an annoyingly misaligned list due to the new session line: (0) - 0: 4 windows (attached) (1) ├─> 0: man- (1 panes) "e540" (2) ├─> 1: bash (1 panes) "e540" (3) ├─> 2: ssh* (1 panes) "e540" (4) ├─> 3: bash (1 panes) "e540" so when you choose a window from the new choose-window list, you have to look carefully and choose "the wrong window" or you get the wrong window! is there a way to fix or workaround this problem? because this shows 0 on windows other than window 2: $ tmux bi w choose-t -wF'#{==:#{window_index},2}' (0) - 0: 1 (1) ├─> 0: 0 (2) ├─> 1: 0 (3) ├─> 2: 1 (4) ├─> 3: 0 thus this eliminates windows other than window 2: $ tmux bi w choose-t -wf'#{==:#{window_index},2}' (0) - 0: 6 windows (attached) (1) └─> 2: ssh* (1 panes) "e540" so similarly since this shows 0 on the session line and 1 on each window: $ tmux bi w choose-t -wF'#{window_format}' (0) - 0: 0 (1) ├─> 0: 1 (2) ├─> 1: 1 (3) ├─> 2: 1 (4) ├─> 3: 1 you'd expect this to eliminate the session line, and restore proper alignment of the choose-window listing, but strangely it just doesn't: $ tmux bi w choose-t -wf'#{window_format}' (0) - 0: 4 windows (attached) (1) ├─> 0: man- (1 panes) "e540" (2) ├─> 1: bash (1 panes) "e540" (3) ├─> 2: ssh* (1 panes) "e540" (4) ├─> 3: bash (1 panes) "e540" so a fix or workaround would be greatly appreciated! + A solution is available, see: + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tmux/+bug/1891785/comments/7 + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: tmux 3.0a-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-42.46-generic 5.4.44 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-42-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.4 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip Date: Sat Aug 15 21:05:07 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-03-15 (153 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Alpha amd64 (20200314) ProcEnviron: LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8 TERM=screen PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: tmux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891785 Title: choose-w misaligned (regression) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tmux/+bug/1891785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
