I tried to reproduce, and indeed, it fails on xterm (without the 'ne' grep option), but not in gnome-terminal. Does that mean that this is an xterm bug again and not a grep bug? See this: http://wjd.nu/files/2016/07/debian-bug-456943.png?view This works both in gnome-terminal and xterm: python -c 'print(" "*'$COLUMNS'+"1234")' | GREP_COLORS=ne grep --color=auto '[1-9]' This works in gnome-terminal and *fails* in xterm: python -c 'print(" "*'$COLUMNS'+"1234")' | grep --color=auto '[1-9]' Versions (Ubuntu, Trusty, latest): gnome-terminal 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 grep 2.16-1 xterm 297-1ubuntu1 Greetings, Walter Doekes
