Description Alasdair Kergon 2007-03-22 21:47:41 UTC
My FC6 shell core-dumped.

6.14-12

Reproduced with RHEL5:

> set autolist
> mkdir tmp
> cd tmp
> touch <^V><^H><^V><^H>
<TAB>

NLSStringWidth(items[i]) returns -1 cast to unsigned int so maxwidth =
4294967295 and wins max() every time;

no_file_suffix is 1 => maxwidth += 1 => maxwidth = 0;

columns = TermH / maxwidth

Comment 1 Vitezslav Crhonek 2007-04-24 12:16:39 UTC
Hi,

I can't reproduce it:

> set autolist
> mkdir tmp2
> cd tmp2
> touch ^V^H^V^H
> ^V^H^V^H ^V^H^V^H ^V^H^V^H ...

Am I doing something wrong?


Comment 2 Vitezslav Crhonek 2007-04-24 12:18:59 UTC
Now it works, sorry... My fault.

Comment 3 Alasdair Kergon 2007-04-24 14:18:38 UTC
sorry - you need more than one item in the directory for the tabbing to 
display a list of possibilities

add another 'touch xyz'
