I can reproduce this, but I have no idea what causes it. I'm sending it upstream to the gnome-terminal author to see what he thinks. *** Bug 6072 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This bug has just been fixed in the upstream CVS version of GNOME; when the GNOME Project makes a release of the fixed version, we will include it in Red Hat. Havoc: Will this make it for 6.2? CVS version (stable branch) seems to have a number of fixes, including this and the segfault-if-E-background-pixmap-no-longer-exists bug. I think I'll just diff our tarball against the CVS version of the terminal and apply the patch to the RPM. However the patch is somewhat large and it makes me a bit nervous to use the unreleased code. On second thought, it turns out that on Feb 1 we updated the Rawhide RPM to the latest upstream version, and I can no longer reproduce this bug. If gnome-core-1.0.55-7.i386.rpm is supposed to fix this bug, unfortunately I can confirm that it DOES NOT. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50800 Feb 9 00:58 /usr/bin/gnome-terminal still puts a 'c' on the prompt on returning from vim. Sorry The bug is in gnome-LIBS not gnome-core. If upgrading the libraries doesn't help then let me know. Yes fixed, agreed, it's gone away. Thanks. No. It's only fixed over remote login. See: [root@royals GNOME]# rpm -Uvh gnome-libs-1.0.55-9.i386.rpm gnome-libs-devel-1.0.55-9.i386.rpm package gnome-libs-1.0.55-9 is already installed package gnome-libs-devel-1.0.55-9 is already installed [root@royals GNOME]# vi c[root@royals GNOME]# havoc: this bug does persist. Not sure if it is going to get fixed or not... ok, NOW it is supposed to be fixed with the latest gnome-libs. AMP: Sorry, still there! [root@royals download]# rpm -Uvh gnome-libs-1.0.55-12.i386.rpm package gnome-libs-1.0.55-12 is already installed [root@royals download]# vi c[root@royals download]# date Wed Mar 1 12:44:26 GMT 2000 |
After running vi in a gnome terminal, the terminal's prompt is prefixed with as 'c'. This does not happen with the graphical '-g' option with vim. Does happen with vim 5.4 rpm and 5.5 built from source. It does not affect regular xterms. Example: [root@royals init.d]# vim c[root@royals init.d]# vi -v c[root@royals init.d]# PS1='> ' > vi c>
