Nvim: blank block always appended to command line cursor

[ghost]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is inherently a problem with Nvim, or if oblique relied on a vim only hack which has been removed (or something else), but here's my issue. (from https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/1820#issuecomment-74172835):

nvimrc used:

call plug#begin()
Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible'
Plug 'junegunn/vim-pseudocl'
Plug 'junegunn/vim-oblique'
call plug#end()

The issue happens with or without vim-sensible (note the command prompt):

with oblique:

without:

The same thing happens in xterm without tmux.

(end of quote) I thought that maybe some color sequence was being passed to stdout, and nvim might be interpreting it differently than vim.

As it's not reproducible on Vim, it's probably an issue of Neovim which is constantly changing. So I won't look into it for the moment.

By the way, there is a simpler alternative to Oblique you might want to take a look.

That's fine, but do you mind if I keep this open? Presumably there aren't many plugins that change the appearance of the command/search bar, but regardless this is the only plugin which has the issue.

Thanks for the reference.

No problem.

Another issue in this context: using <S-Insert> to copy from the "mouse" clipboard adds an i at the beginning, i.e. pasting "foo" after / will result in a search for "ifoo".

@blueyed Nice find. Seems like a bug of neovim, it's easily reproducible.

function! s:gets()
  let s = ''
  let c = getchar()
  while 1
    if !c
      break
    endif
    let s .= nr2char(c)
    let c = getchar(0)
  endwhile
  echom s
endfunction
command! Gets call s:gets()

t_ve option which this plugin uses to hide the original cursor is removed in neovim.

I'm currently working on this. Soon nvim TUI will have the terminal codes customizable.

@mreed1 Why did you close it? Is it fixed for you?

@blueyed nah, I was just cleaning up a bunch of issues associated with my account; I'll reopen this one.
