terminal abnormal display

[chenyangguang]

After installed spacemacs. Alt+x shell to enter the shell mode. But it display in an odd way : -> ~ ^[[?2004h , (messy code), any idea of this maybe great help for me. The '-> ~' means i use oh-my-zsh, and the dir is my own user dirpath.

Don't use shell, it's a dumb terminal. Use term, ansi-term or multi-term. See also the shell layer.

Does it means there is a compatibility bug in shell-mode ?

#3035 has addressed this problem.

Nice find. 👍

In addition, it is ok on ubuntu14.04, then this phenomenon occurred on ubuntu16.04.

Trusty provides you with version 5.0.2 of zsh. Xenial (16.04) on the other hand has the version 5.1.1 which as described in #3035 causes the problem. Anyway, I'm using zsh 5.2 here, and the problem you described doesn't exist anymore.
