[Bash in Linux] Incompatibility between gitstatus and fzf-tab-completion utilities, terminal exits

[bluz71]

Hello @romkatv,

Long-time user of gitstatus via my bash-seafly-prompt script.

A couple days ago I wanted to use fzf-tab-completion in my Bash configuration.

No good, there is a bad interaction between gitstatus and fzf-tab-completion when doing Bash tab completion; basically the terminal GUI window (Alacritty & GNOME-Terminal) will close upon hitting ENTER after a completion.

I can repeat the issue with this minimal ~/.bashrc file:

_command_prompt() {
    if ! hash gitstatus_query 2>/dev/null || ! gitstatus_query -p; then
        return
    fi
}

if [[ -r ~/.gitstatus/gitstatus.plugin.sh ]]; then
    source ~/.gitstatus/gitstatus.plugin.sh
    gitstatus_stop && gitstatus_start -c 0 -d 0
fi

PROMPT_COMMAND=_command_prompt

. ~/fzf-tab-completion/bash/fzf-bash-completion.sh
bind -x '"\t": fzf_bash_completion'

I installed fzf-tab-completion via git clone https://github.com/lincheney/fzf-tab-completion in the home directory. The fzf utility needs to be installed somewhere in the $PATH.

Then do cd <TAB>, select a directory from the fzf list followed by ENTER to execute the cd command. BOOM, the window will close.

Maybe fzf-tab-completion is at fault, I don't know, but I have come here first. Hopefully an easy fix either here, or at fzf-tab-completion or possibly even my bash-seafly-prompt script.

Regards.

I'm afraid I won't commit to debugging this.

Ok, sad for me, but life goes on.
