yes. this is correct and expected. you shouldn't attach a tmux session inside itself or it'll go nuts if you try to switch the inside tmux to the same window as the outer. there was some changes at one point to make tmux detect if $TMUX was invalid or not but i can't remember if they are in 1.3. maybe try CVS HEAD but if it still does the same you'll just have to unset TMUX first. > > note2: "unset $TMUX" is somewhat misleading, s/b "unset TMUX" > > tks for your efforts and 1.2 to 1.3 is a big improvement in user > experience. > -- > Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 > http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 > Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper > David G.
