When I do 

PAGER=kak git log

In the kakoune git repository, there is no highlighting even though the escape sequences have been deleted. When I scroll to the bottom of the buffer, the ansi sequences are still there. Running ansi-render manually removes the ansi sequences, but still no coloring.

It works fine for smaller git histories though.

Thanks for the report. Not sure when I'll get to looking at this, it might be a few weeks.

I tested with the c branch, now at least the top of the buffer is processed correctly. When I scroll to the bottom of the buffer the ansi sequences are still there, but running ansi-render manually colors it correctly. This is probably because the rendering happens before the buffer is completely filled. I don't think we want to adapt that.

Hmm, I guess NormalIdle isn't handled if no user interaction occurs? I wonder what events we get for a fifo.
