Accents may cause status line exceed width

[jszakmeister]

I have the following in my theme:

    let g:airline#themes#szakdark#palette.accents = {
        \ 'red': ['#ff0000' , '', 160, ''],
        \ 'boldwhite': ['#ffffff' , '', 15, '', 'bold'],
        \ 'brightorange': ['#ffaf00' , '', 214, ''],
        \ }
    call airline#highlighter#add_accent('red')
    call airline#highlighter#add_accent('boldwhite')
    call airline#highlighter#add_accent('brightorange')

If I do:

    call airline#parts#define_accent('syntastic', 'brightorange')

Then I end up with the status line wrapping around on a really large file name:

If it helps, I have changed the layout for the parts a bit:

        let g:airline_section_a = airline#section#create_left(['mode'])
        let g:airline_section_b = airline#section#create_left(['branch', 'readonly', 'file'])
        let g:airline_section_c = airline#section#create(['syntastic'])
        let g:airline_section_gutter = airline#section#create(['%='])
        let g:airline_section_x = airline#section#create_right(['tagbar', 'filetype'])
        let g:airline_section_y = airline#section#create_right(['%3p%%'])
        let g:airline_section_z = airline#section#create(['linenr', ':%2c'])
        let g:airline_section_warning = airline#section#create_right(['paste', 'whitespace'])

But I think it should work, despite the change in layout.

I think part of the issue is the extra triangle after the filename. If I run the SyntasticCheck on the buffer, then I get:

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help debug the issue.

The terminal version also seems confused by this:

You can see filetype is repeated, but only partially. If I don't define the accents, then it renders fine.

does it make any difference if you add <% in there somewhere? typically this is included in any statusline config, but since you've overwritten all the default configuration and omitted this, maybe vim is getting confused on what to do with a really long statusline...

[jszakmeister]

It doesn't appear to help. What's the proper way to change the default layout?

This is with:

let g:airline_section_c = '%<' . airline#section#create(['syntastic'])

And the terminal still seems confused too. :-(

Is there an easy way to reproduce this issue?

[jszakmeister]

I haven't tried again in quite a while, but the config I posted earlier is what I used, and you had to open a file with a really long name so that it would exceed the available space. I remember trying to pare things down to something smaller, but I wasn't successful in doing that.

okay, i thought,this might have been related to your custom theme, that you mentioned in the beginning

Seems to work for me. This is current head, with a 7.4.488 stock debian default vim and putty.
Perhaps we have an issue truncating the filename.

I am goind to close this for now. If this happens again, please re-open.

Actually, I believe that is true--I forgot about that part of the equation. I was trying to color the syntastic field differently, and that's when things fell apart. But, I was also overriding the default airline config, because I didn't like the layout--I wanted it to be closer to what I had configured for powerline.
