Lean style zsh-autocomplete history bug

[chris3ware]

I'm experiencing a strange issue with zsh-autocomplete history when using the Lean style. I'm raising this issue here, because I don't have the problem when I use the Pure style.

In Lean Style, when using the cursors to scroll up and down the history certain commands seem to clear the history. The commands I am able to reproduce this with consistently are aws and terraform. There may be others, but I use these everyday.

This occurs on different versions of macOS (11.7.10 and 13.6.2), different versions of VSCode (1.75.1 and 1.74.3) and different versions of zsh (5.8 and 5.9).

I've replicated the problem in an isolated environment with the configuration below and a .p10k.zsh configuration file, generated with the configuration wizard, in each environment.

❯ cd $(mktemp -d)
❯ ZDOTDIR=$PWD HOME=$PWD zsh -f

% source /Users/chris/.znap-plugins/romkatv/powerlevel10K/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme 

.zshrc

# Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close to the top of ~/.zshrc.
# Initialization code that may require console input (password prompts, [y/n]
# confirmations, etc.) must go above this block; everything else may go below.
if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
  source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
fi

# To customize prompt, run `p10k configure` or edit ~/.p10k.zsh.

P10K pure style configuration file

```zsh # Generated by Powerlevel10k configuration wizard on 2023-11-17 at 10:01 GMT. # Based on romkatv/powerlevel10k/config/p10k-pure.zsh, checksum 35142. # Wizard options: nerdfont-complete + powerline, small icons, pure, original, rprompt, # 2 lines, sparse, transient_prompt, instant_prompt=verbose. # Type `p10k configure` to generate another config. # # Config file for Powerlevel10k with the style of Pure (https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure). # # Differences from Pure: # # - Git: # - `@c4d3ec2c` instead of something like `v1.4.0~11` when in detached HEAD state. # - No automatic `git fetch` (the same as in Pure with `PURE_GIT_PULL=0`). # # Apart from the differences listed above, the replication of Pure prompt is exact. This includes # even the questionable parts. For example, just like in Pure, there is no indication of Git status # being stale; prompt symbol is the same in command, visual and overwrite vi modes; when prompt # doesn't fit on one line, it wraps around with no attempt to shorten it. # # If you like the general style of Pure but not particularly attached to all its quirks, type # `p10k configure` and pick "Lean" style. This will give you slick minimalist prompt while taking # advantage of Powerlevel10k features that aren't present in Pure. # Temporarily change options.

The video below illustrates this behaviour with lean style. Note how the history commands above the terraform and aws commands disappear as the terraform and aws commands are selected:

For context the video below illustrates the behaviour in pure style:

[romkatv]

It's this feature: https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#show-on-command

Apparently, zsh-autocomplete bugs out when this feature is in use. This is likely caused by the same bug in zsh that causes completion menu to disappear on reset-prompt: https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2019/msg00161.html.

As a workaround you can remove all parameters in ~/.p10k.zsh that have SHOW_ON_COMMAND in their name.

Thanks for the quick response. I've disabled SHOW_ON_COMMAND in the config file and all is well.
