Background Color of Bash Indicator

[Phidelux]

The Background Color of the bash indicator (second line) is not transparent but black.

Interesting. Could you provide the exact output of echoing $PS1?

Here you go:

\n\[\]\[\] awilhelm \[\]\[\]\[\]\[\] ~ \[\]\[\]\[\] \[\]\[\]\[\]\[\] 12:28 \[\e[00m\]\n\[\]\[\] ➜ \[\e[00m\]

I'm not sure what's causing this. My initial thought was that there was something wrong with color generation. But I think that's in the clear. Since my PS1 looks exactly like yours, I'm starting to wonder if this might be related to byte length vs char length. Is your LANG variable set to some variant of UTF-8?

echo $LANG

en_CA.UTF-8

echo $PS1

\n\[\]\[\] duncan \[\]\[\]\[\]\[\]\[\]\[\] ~ \[\]\[\]\[\]\[\] bin \[\]\[\]\[\]\[\] sbp \[\]\[\]\[\]\[\] master u= \[\]\[\]\[\]\[\] \[\]\[\]\[\]\[\] last: 0m 0s \[\]\[\]\[\]\[\] 00:49:08 \[\e[00m\]\n\[\]\[\] ➜ \[\e[00m\]

Looks fine, though:

Having this issue on both laptops and my desktop. All using en_US.UTF-8 in $LANG.

I'm at at a loss to reproduce this. Would you mind posting a full width screenshot of your prompt @Phidelux ? And is this bug irrelevant to which path / plugins are active?

Is this still an issue after the latest merge? Iirc the way this is handled now is to reset all colors, then set the foreground.

Yes, it was still an issue, I had black backgrounds behind the arrows, and the prompt_ready arrow had a black background. The suggestion in the link fixed the issue.

If I remember correctly, there's no such problem, at least several months ago. I encountered same issue after running git pull, so it could be introduced by new pull request?

[brujoand]

Sorry I forgot about this one. It is resolved now on iTerm/osx. Anyone on linux who could confirm?

[dflock]

Looks fine to me on linux - but then it always has.

Cool thanks. I think this bug is only revealed if the user applies some color theme to the terminal. Closing until proven wrong then 👍
