Description Kees de Jong 2016-03-16 07:54:42 UTC 
Created attachment 1136894 [details]
Screenshot of the env popup in tmux statusbar

Description of problem:
When tmux-powerline is configured with tmux (version 2.1) and you open a new window or switch to a new pane, this message pops up in the statusbar: https://postimg.org/image/crw2uoj3h/full/


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tmux-2.1-3.fc23.x86_64
tmux-powerline-2.3-1.fc23.noarch

How reproducible:
See description.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install tmux-powerline and tmux
2. Put this line in ~/.tmux.conf: source /usr/share/tmux/powerline.conf
3. Open tmux
4. Create new windows, you'll see the env message in the statusbar

Expected results:
This didn't happen in the previous tmux version, I just upgraded.
    Upgraded tmux-2.0-2.fc23.x86_64                @fedora
    Upgrade       2.1-3.fc23.x86_64                @updates

Additional info:
I'll also create an upstream bug report, just a sec.

Comment 2 Andreas Schneider 2016-03-16 11:27:54 UTC 
According to https://github.com/powerline/powerline/issues/1502 it is a tmux issue.

11:42 < AquaL1te> ntnn: you were right, it has to do with that tmux-powerline isn't done yet with the right-status.. but they blame tmux :/

11:44 < ntnn> jesus
11:44 < ntnn> 'i'm not at fault!'
11:46 < nicm> it is because when i changed the job code to integrate it with formats if the job (the #() command) has failed or not yet completed it will tell you
11:46 < ntnn> and as far as i can remember tmux handled it always that way (displaying verbatim with 'isn't finished' at the end)
12:44 < nicm> could be i forget
12:52 < AquaL1te> nicm, ntnn: so it's not a bug, it's a feature? :)
12:53 < ntnn> most likely the issue is, that powerline got even slower than it already was
13:16 < nicm> it is not a bug
13:19 < AquaL1te> nicm: okay, then i'll close the fedora bug report, thanks!


The powerline devs say it's a tmux problem and according to the tmux devs it's not a bug, rather it's a feature.

So I'll close this one.
