Bug ID: 459812
Summary: sudo / doas Injecting Itself Onto the Current Line
When Trying to Autocomplete Command Argements
Classification: Applications
Product: yakuake
Version: 22.08.1
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: needs_verification
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: nekone...@protonmail.ch
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
For some reason, I noticed this when either an application calls either sudo or
doas (regardless of which) or if an alias is made to pre-pend either of those
to a command (like pacman or paru, for example) and the command is used where
the arguments could potentially auto-complete like, say, something like this:
(aliased "sudo pacman") pacman -U ./package-name<tab-to-complete-filepath>
or:
paru -U ./package-name<tab-to-complete-filepath>
For some reason, this causes Yakuake to graphically write in-line *over* what
was typed instead of moving over to the next line, like it's normally supposed
to, and simultaneous ignores the auto-complete request and tries to run the
command as-is.
Given the nature of the issue, I have no idea if it's a shell bug or if the
terminal emulator is responsible for this behavior? I don't know how terminals
handle shells. (For context, I use fish)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. cp a package from the system: from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ to the current
directory or just run (sudo pacman aliased) "pacman -U
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/<package-filename-example> and attempt to autocomplete it
(similarly, this can be also done with paru without any aliasing)
2. Alternatively, have doas installed and perform the same task
OBSERVED RESULT
doas (neko-san@ARCH) password: aru > clone
(What you see above with "aru > clone" is just the folder path I was currently
in; as you can see, it decided to inject doas into the current line)
EXPECTED RESULT
Text corruption on the current line to not occur and interfere with the command
being executed
