Incorrect operation when scrolling through commands with vertical arrows

[gskoczylas]

To illustrate the problem, let's assume that I executed the following commands in sequence:

1. dir
2. pushd c:\temp
3. cd ..\Tools\
4. dir /w
5. popd

Now I want to execute one of the previous commands again. To do this, I press the up arrow key (on the keyboard).

• After first pressing the button I see the popd command. For now everything is fine.
• After second pressing the button I see the dir /w command. Still all right.
• After third pressing the button I see the dcd ..\Tools\ command. Wrong! The first letter of the previous command (letter "d") is displayed before the actual command.
• From now on, each subsequent command is preceded by this additional letter (d), for example: dpushd c:\temp, ddir, etc.
• If I press Esc, the whole command is deleted, except for this additional letter d.

This additional letter at the beginning is only virtual. For example, if I see a ddir and execute this command, then I will execute the dir command - as if this additional letter was not there at the beginning.

You can live with it, but it's annoying and it interferes with your working comfort.

At first I did not have such problems. It happened at some point. I did not change any settings in the program. I didn't notice anything special that could change this behavior.

Environment:

• Cmder ver. 1.3.16.1035
• Windows 10 Enterprise ver. 1909

I don't see this issue in my Cmder 1.3.16.1035.

Usually this is a font thing and not liking the 'lambda'. Try a different font, or you could change the 'lambda' to '$' using a custom prompt.lua in the config folder.
