Weird recoloring issue with terminals using xterm+256color #84

Closed Larivact closed 6 years ago

Larivact commented 6 years ago

Having TERM set to a terminal that uses xterm+256color or xterm+256setaf (eg. xterm-256color) when starting dvtm does two things:

1) Cause the current master branch to hang on startup, showing only an empty screen with a blinking cursor. This can be fixed by merging #82. 2) Causes SGR set color sequences to update all other colored text to the new color. I recommend removing all colors from your prompt to reproduce this.

Steps to reproduce:

$ TERM=xterm-256color
$ dvtm
$ PS1='$ '
$ printf '\033[0;31m red \033[0m\n'
red
$ printf '\033[0;32m green \033[0m\n'
green
$ printf '\033[0;33m yellow \033[0m\n'
yellow

A workaround is to use a terminal that doesn't use xterm+256color, eg. TERM=dvtm-256color. You can find out if a terminal uses xterm+256color by looking at the terminfo source.

PR'd a fix in #85. @Larivact Can you verify if that branch fixes your issue?

Larivact commented 6 years ago

Yes #85 fixes this issue and #83 for me. Thank you.
