Ubuntu 16.04 terminal messed up after running static_transform_publisher #155

Closed vik748 closed 6 years ago

vik748 commented 7 years ago

I have noticed on multiple machines running Ubuntu 16.04 that when running static_transform_publisher from command line and ctrl-C'ing out of it, the terminal becomes messed up. What I mean is that when you press the up arrow key and change a parameter say the roll angle and hit enter, it actually runs values different from what is intended. These can then be observed by ctrl-C'ing out again and pressing the up arrow. Basically the terminal doesn't execute what it displays. Has anyone else observed this behavior?

I've seen this behavior when using many long command line invocations that wrap. Not related to tf commands. Sometimes the terminal doens't clear/rewrap correctly. I suspect you'll find that it's shifted by a couple characters due to a different prompt length or other justification issues. You can clear the issue by forcing the terminal to rerender, or making it wide enough that it doesn't wrap.

I don't believe that this is an issue with tf, but with the terminal.
