When scrolling through history the previous line on the terminal is overwritten

ikandaswamy commented 8 years ago

Bug report

Operating System : Mac
Terminal Emulator : xterm
Bug behaviour and Expected behaviour : When scrolling through history, the previous line is overwritten. Previously did not overwrite the previous line on the terminal. Now with every couple of scrolls it overwrites the previous line.
Caused by : https://github.com/peterh/liner/commit/0e4af131b90a9786839c8b1b01717be263e8555a After I removed the above checkin i did not see the issue again.

-Sample Example : In the beginning it looked like -> Connected to : http://localhost:8091/. Type Ctrl-D or \QUIT to exit.

Path to history file for the shell : /Users/isha/.cbq_history cbq>

After scrolling through history a bit then it eats up a previous line Connected to : http://localhost:8091/. Type Ctrl-D or \QUIT to exit.

cbq> CREATE INDEX ......

The above Path to ... line is replaced.

Thanks Isha

Sorry for the late reply.

To clarify, are you really using xterm (presumably on XQuartz) on Mac, and not Terminal.app?

Unfortunately, I don't have easy access to a Mac these days, so it may be a while before I can look into this in detail.
