Package: ncurses-base Version: 5.4-5 Severity: normal Hi,
After I updated ncurses-base to 5.4-5 and restarted my terminal emulator, I got parts of escape sequences in my zsh prompt. Zsh seems to insert such escape sequences before all prompts and messages, so I have "[27m" strings all over the place, of which zsh doesn't know that they aren't displayed so everything gets misaligned and messy. For example my prompt: PS1="[EMAIL PROTECTED] " and translated (for non-zsh users): PS1="user@<bold><white>host</white></bold>% " is displayed with TERM set to xterm xterm-debian as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am currently using "rxvt" terminal info, this work-around seems to work for now. I am sorry that I have almost no knowledge about terminal emulators and terminal info internals, so please let me know if you need more information.
