#6510: terminal not handling color sequences properly -------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: augiedoggie | Owner: siarzhuk Type: bug | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Terminal | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All -------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by tidux): I've been having color issues for ages, so I tried messing with the $TERM setting. For example, Vim syntax highlighting still doesn't work properly with the default TERM=xterm, and irssi on my Linux server got garbled as heck. Fortunately, setting TERM=xterm-color fixed every issue I've had apart from GNU screen, which I think I can chalk up to GNU screen being a buggy pile of spaghetti code. My initial workaround was to put "export TERM=xterm-color" in my ~/.bash_profile - but that's a crappy fix. I poked around the Terminal source code and found the place it was set in Shell.cpp. The file I'm about to attach is a simple patch to put that fix in the source code instead of requiring editing config files like we're on Unix. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6510#comment:8> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
