Are you using tmux
?
Normally yes, but I did the test without tmux.
Tested with Hyper, gnome-terminal, even with disabling all .profile&zshrc. (all broken) xterm and bare linux console work...
Did a diff of "set" between gnome-terminal and xterm, found a workaround:
TERM=xterm
Seems like the bug only gets triggered with TERM=xterm-256color
Downgrading to ncurses-6.0-20180121
did NOT work.
Downgrading to ncurses-6.0 (found on https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ ) WORKS.
For anyone on Arch Linux, I've created a PKGBUILD file that gets you going quickly: https://gist.github.com/cfstras/f8634870126cb5b84c76a30200c2b603
Same here with peco & opensuse tumbleweed. TERM=xterm
worked for me
Confirmed I am seeing this bug as well with ncurses 6.1 on Arch. It will effect anything using this lib including the many popular tools built on termui. TERM=xterm ./my-program
will fix the issue. It's not immediately clear to me what the long term fix for this is but I imagine the maintainer will have an idea..
4.15.5-1-ARCH
glibc 2.26-11
ncurses 6.1-3
I'll have a look at it this weekend. Hopefully won't forget about it.
Should work now. Ncurses 6.1 slightly altered the terminfo file format. Quoting man page:
On occasion, 16-bit signed integers are not large enough. With ncurses
6.1, a new format is introduced by making a few changes to the legacy
format:
· a different magic number (0542)
· changing the type for the number array from signed 16-bit integers
to signed 32-bit integers.
Although doc implies octal number (and original magic number is also specified in octal). What I see in terminfo files is just a little endian 16-bit number 542. Whatever...
After upgrading ncurses to v6.1 weird characters appear on the screen when I try to use peco.
Thanks to @mattn I learned that peco uses termbox-go under the hood and that the issue might happen because terminfo was also modified with the latest ncurses upgrade.
