Exiting mvn scala:console leaves terminal unusable

[tnm]

Starting a console session in Terminal.app on OS X 10.6.6.

tnm$ echo $TERM
xterm-color

tnm$ mvn scala:console

Welcome to Scala version 2.9.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_22).   
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.  
Type :help for more information.

scala> 

Exit with Control-C or Control-D.

tnm$

Typing foo shows nothing on the command line. Press enter.

tnm$  -bash: foo: command not found

Press enter several times again. Prompts continue to be displayed on a single line.

tnm$  tnm$ tnm$  tnm$

Commands do work (after one hits enter), but whatever is typed is not displayed, and in general the terminal is not usable.

This is an issue with using JLINE and SIGTERM-ing an application. JLine
doesn't have a chance to clean up and your BASH is killed horribly. i
think there's a fix in the latest Scala release.

What version of Scala are you using?

Note: A workaround is to type 'reset' after this happens.

Thanks for the quick response! Scala version:

tnm$ scala 
Welcome to Scala version 2.9.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_22).

This is also happening to me on
2.9.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_29) mac os x 10.7.2
and
2.9.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_26). ubuntu 10.04.03

This is a pervasive bug with the Scala console (or jline, or some other dependency). I know for a fact it hasn't been fixed on <=2.9.2, I'll try to find the relavant bug in Typesafe's JIRA for historical purposes but otherwise I don't think there's much that can be done here (also note the workaround mentioned by @jsuereth above).

Closing as I don't think this will ever be investigated; IMHO, scala:console should be dropped in a future major version.
