weird % sign appearing before the prompt

rockyzhang24 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

When I open more windows of a terminal, sometimes there is a weird % appearing at the beginning. When I changed to other zsh themes (like ys or pure), it didn't appear.

I reproduced it on Alacritty, kitty terminal, iTerm2, and the macOS builtin Terminal.app.

My system is macOS 10.15.3.

Thank you.

Please add the following lines at the very top of ~/.zshrc:

PS1='%m%# '
RPS1=
return

Can you still reproduce the weird %?

Closing due to inactivity. If you are still affected by this issue, please reopen and provide the information I've asked for.

aasutossh commented 4 years ago

Hi @romkatv I also have this same issue. It doesn't appear on the tmux "tabs/windows" but I can get it on gnome-terminal's tabs. Adding following on the top of my .zshrc doesn't show %.

PS1='%m%# '
RPS1=
return

Also, the command repeats itself like following

Thank you.

@aasutossh What is the output of the following command?


() {
  emulate -L zsh -o xtrace
  locale -a
  locale
  zmodload zsh/langinfo
  echo -E - $langinfo[CODESET]
  typeset -pm 'ZSH_VERSION'
  echo '\u276F'
}

Also, the command repeats itself like following

This looks totally broken. I'd like to reproduce this. Please post the output of the following command from the terminal where this issue manifests itself:

() {
  emulate -L zsh
  typeset -pm 'POWERLEVEL9K_*|*TERM*'
  uname -a
}

Also, please attach your zshrc.

Which terminal are you using?
Which OS are you using?
Do you see this issue in other terminals?
Do you see this issue on other machines?
Was it always broken or did it break at some point? When?

I am using gnome-terminal. gnome-terminal --version :-> # GNOME Terminal 3.34.2 using VTE 0.58.2 +BIDI +GNUTLS

I am using pop!_OS 19.10.

Do you see this issue in other terminals?

I used alacritty but always with tmux. So I am not sure. Let me check and update this. Update: It's the same with alacritty too. The % sign and commands repeating on the next line.

Do you see this issue on other machines?

I don't have other machines.

Was it always broken or did it break at some point? When?

I think it was like this the whole time(with pk10(I was using bash before, moved to zsh for pk10)). I used everything with tmux, and inside tmux these didn't occur so I didn't care.

export TERM=tmux-256color

Seems like you are setting TERM somewhere. It's almost always a bad idea to set TERM. Please remove TERM from zshrc or wherever you set it.

aasutossh commented 4 years ago

And that's it. The % is gone. Repeating commands is gone. Everybody tell me to set $TERM everywhere, in .tmux.conf, in .vimrc, in .bashrc etc. I set $TERM to support colors in (neo)vim inside tmux. Edit: Thank you so much. You can double close the issue now.

romkatv commented 4 years ago

I'm glad this has resolved the issue.

TERM is supposed to be set by your terminal or terminal emulator. It's how it lets shell and other applications attached to the TTY know which protocol to use with the TTY. Sometimes a terminal or terminal emulator can understand several protocols and thus could potentially set TERM to different values. If the default isn't what you want, you should change it in the settings of the terminal rather than downstream. If tmux sets TERM that you don't like, tell tmux to use the value you want. Setting TERM in rc files of applications that merely run in the terminal is almost always a bad idea. Thus, you shouldn't set TERM in .bashrc or .vimrc.

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you @romkatv.

Later I googled it and I found that this percentage sign is actually a feature of zsh which is used to show "partial line", right? The reference link is https://superuser.com/a/645612/1145809

By reading this, I know that I can customize the symbol by setting $PROMPT_EOL_MARK, or removing it by unsetopt PROMPT_SP, right?

No worries. Could you answer the question I've asked in my first comment?

Yes.

Indeed. My favorite is PROMPT_EOL_MARK='%K{red} %k', which you can put in ~/.zshrc.

... or removing it by unsetopt PROMPT_SP, right?

This is a very bad idea. If you unset prompt_sp, you won't see the complete output of some commands. Here's an example.

Type zsh -df to get a clean shell without user configs.
Type print -n hello. Since the output of this command doesn't end with an empty line, you'll see the inverted %. When you know the meaning of this sign, it's a very useful thing. Knowing that the output has an unfinished line is valuable.
Type unsetopt prompt_sp.
Type print -n hello again. You'll see no output whatsoever.

Instead of print -n hello it might have been cat /some/file. If that file doesn't end in empty line, you will not see the last line.

Running zsh without prompt_sp is so dangerous that Powerlevel10k won't even allow you to do it. If you unset this option, Powerlevel10k will immediately restore it.

The problem you are facing is either caused by misconfiguration (e.g., see above where @aasutossh had TERM=... in ~/.zshrc; you should never put TERM=... in ~/.zshrc), or a bug in terminal or powerlevel10k. To narrow it down I've asked you a question. This is likely not the only question you'll need to answer in the course of debugging this problem.

rockyzhang24 commented 4 years ago

Thank you. I just put those three lines (your question) at the beginning of my zshrc and it seems that I cannot reproduce this "issue". Actually this issue happened occasionally when I open many terminal windows successively.

I bind a shortcut (cmd - enter) to open a terminal window. After I add those three lines and then I press these shortcut many times successively, I don't see that percentage symbol again. Probably it is because it returns immediately after setting the prompt, thus the execution of loading zshrc is very fast. Without putting your code, my zshrc is relatively longer so it needs more time to load. And instant mode of powerlevel10k make the prompt shows up immediately even before the finishing of loading zshrc, so the percentage sign appears.

What I mean is:
If I don't use powerlevel10k, when I open a terminal, the cursor bar will stay at the beginning, waiting for the loading of zshrc. After this, the prompt will appear. After using powerlevel10k, this waiting is interrupted by the instant mode, and the prompt appears immediately, so that percentage symbol appears to show this interruption, i.e, the partial line (first line where the cursor bar is lying there).

I don't know whether my understanding is correct. I am very glad you to "debug" this "issue". Just tell me the next assignment. Lol.

BTW, I attached my zshrc here (for testing your question, I removed powerlevel10k temporarily and I haven't added it back yet). It is very basic.

I just put those three lines (your question) at the beginning of my zshrc and it seems that I cannot reproduce this "issue".

Thanks, this is a useful bit of information. Let's stick to Alacritty in the following tests to have fewer moving parts.

1

When you see the percent sign when opening a new terminal, what is the output of the following command?

typeset -p LINES COLUMNS TERM

2

What does Cmd-Enter do? Does it create a new terminal always with the same size?

3

Please do the following:

Add these lines at the very top of ~/.zshrc:
```
PS1='%m%# '
RPS1=
return
```

Run the following command from zsh. It'll load your CPU to 100%. It can be stopped by pressing ENTER.

() {
emulate -L zsh -o err_return
setopt monitor no_bg_nice

local cpus
cpus=$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
[[ $cpus == <1-> ]]

{
repeat $cpus; do
  { while true; do; done } &
done
wait
} &!

{
print -r -- 'Forcing high CPU usage. Press ENTER to stop.'
read
} always {
kill -- -$! 2>/dev/null
}
}

While the command from above is running, try to reproduce the problem. Can you trigger that percent sign?

4

Are you using the latest version of powerlevel10k? If not, can you reproduce the problem after updating to the latest version?

5

Please add the following lines at the very top of ~/.zshrc:

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
source ~/.p10k.zsh
source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme
return

You might need to fix paths. Since you've posted an incomplete zshrc above (one that does not reproduce the issue we are debugging), I don't know the real paths.

Can you reproduce the issue with this config without artificially forcing high CPU usage?
Can you reproduce the issue with this config with artificially forcing high CPU usage?

6

Please add return at the very top of ~/.zshrc and post the output of zsh -xis <<<''

mjlbach commented 4 years ago

I have a similar issue, but it only occurs if I'm typing as the prompt is initializating. It still reproduces if I set PS1/RPS1 as above.

romkatv commented 4 years ago

It still reproduces if I set PS1/RPS1 as above.

In other words, this reproduces if you disable powerlevel10k, right?

Yes, it's not isolated to powerlevel10k. In case anyone runs into this, it's a zsh thing.

No, it's a terminal bug.

jfernandz commented 4 years ago

@romkatv I'm having the same issue and you are right, it seems a terminal bug because it happens only for termite, not for xfce4-terminal or gnome-terminal

Should I report this to termite devs? Has it already been reported?

Thank you so much.

romkatv commented 4 years ago

I don't have an opinion.

It has been already reported?

I don't know.
