Termite + Tmux + Mutt = Redraw problems #665

Closed stacyharper closed 3 years ago

stacyharper commented 5 years ago

Hello there !

I got problems with mutt inside tmux inside termite. The lists doesn't redraw correctly ! This problem doesn't occur on xterm with the exact similar condition.

The $TERM variable is 'screen-256color' tmux.

The layout is:

newsboat | mutt ikhal |

My environment:

The problem seems to not occur in all conditions. I run the tmux layout with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Eluminae/dotfiles/master/bin/tmux_work_session.sh

I dunno what parameters create the redraw bug. I can't find a specific scenario that produce it.

Why is TERM not set to xterm-termite ?

stacyharper commented 5 years ago

Cause I'm running mutt inside a tmux session.

I'm having a weird redraw issue as well (although different? I could make a new issue, but TERM + redraw seems related)

Anytime TERM is screen-256color and I reload my i3wm config, there is a redraw delay that causes ghosting. If I hold down backspace to clear a line, I see a fainter "ghost" of the text I deleted, and then a few seconds later it disappears. Similarly when I type, I see the new letters show up instantly, but I can also see a ghost of the cursor a few characters back.

Setting TERM back to xterm-termite doesn't solve this. If I reload i3wm config with a tmux/screen session open, I can only get it to stop doing this by closing termite and reopening.

edit: My issue only appears to be happening with transparency on. Like it drawing a delayed version of termite in the background.

Termite is obsolete. Please use Alacritty instead. See https://github.com/thestinger/termite#termite-is-obsoleted-by-alacritty for more details.
