Re: [xmonad] Two dashes freeze shellPrompt

I can reproduce this issue even in darcs versions of xmonad & xmonad-contrib. I also can confirm it does depend on current locales. If UTF-8 locales are set, shellPrompt hangs 100% of times after two dashes are typed in. If running under a non-UTF-8 locales like LANG="en_US", LC_ALL="en_US", shellPrompt doesn't stop working. Bug could be fixed as a side-effect of Encoding task force (see http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=348 for details) David

I'm running the darcs version and can't reproduce this. Entering any number of dashes doesn't seem to do anything on my machine. From that I would suspect that some post-0.9.2 patch must have fixed the issue. So in my opinion the right course of action would be to upgrade to a later xmonad version, not to file a bug report.

Cheers, Norbert

Hi,

does anybody else experienced the strange shellPrompt lockup after two consecutive dashes are entered ?

1) invoke XMonad.Prompt.Shell.shellPrompt with defaultXPConfig 2) type anywhere two dashes ("--") in Run: prompt 3) prompt stalls and stops responding

Just asking if somebody can confirm so I may fill a bug report. Yeah, I think I've had this for a while (this box doesn't have xmonad so I can't double-check). I believe it came about when some encoding bug was fixed or something...
