Public bug reported: I've been trying to make both vim and weechat work with 256 color support and the best is that I can make only either one work. Here is a list of test cases and their results. The "best configuration" leaves high intensity characters to show as low intensity. The result is the same with 0.4.2 weechat coming with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and also with longterm ppa 0.4.3 weechat. All of the tests are with gnome-terminal:
Let's say this is case 1: tmux new-session -s weechat And this is case 2: tmux new-session -s weechat weechat And this is case 3: weechat Let's say this is case 4: export TERM=xterm-256color in .bashrc, "tput colors" shows 256 colors. And this is case 5: export TERM=screen-256color in .bashrc, "tput colors" shows 256 colors. And this is case 6: No "TERM=" in .bashrc, "tput colors" shows 8 colors. Case 1 & 4: Broken lines (weechat FAQ 3.2 case) with missing high intensity text. Case 2 & 4: Complete lines with high intensity text. Case 3 & 4: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Case 1 & 5: Complete lines with high intensity text. Case 2 & 5: Complete lines with high intensity text. Case 3 & 5: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Case 1 & 6: Complete lines with high intensity text. Case 2 & 6: Complete lines with high intensity text. Case 3 & 6: Complete lines with high intensity text. Tests with no "TERM=" in .bashrc, "xterm-256color" in gnome-terminal settings and "screen-256color" in .tmux.conf: Case 1: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Case 2: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Case 3: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Tests with no "TERM=" in .bashrc, "xterm-256color" in gnome-terminal settings and "xterm-256color" in .tmux.conf: Case 1: Broken lines (weechat FAQ 3.2 case) with missing high intensity text. Case 2: Broken lines (weechat FAQ 3.2 case) with missing high intensity text. Case 3: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Tests with no "TERM=" in .bashrc, "gnome-256color" in gnome-terminal settings and "screen-256color" in .tmux.conf: Case 1: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Case 2: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Case 3: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Tests with no "TERM=" in .bashrc, "xterm-256color" in gnome-terminal settings and "gnome-256color" in .tmux.conf: Case 1: Broken lines (weechat FAQ 3.2 case) with missing high intensity text. Case 2: Broken lines (weechat FAQ 3.2 case) with missing high intensity text. Case 3: Complete lines with missing high intensity text. Tests with no "TERM=" in .bashrc, no "TERM" in gnome-terminal settings and "screen-256color" in .tmux.conf: Case 1: Complete lines with high intensity text. Case 2: Complete lines with high intensity text. Case 3: Complete lines with high intensity text. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1333191 Title: Inconsistent 256 color console experience To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1333191/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
