Multiple ZSH prompts with dotphiles theme

[nbellowe]

Sometimes, randomly -- after I've been using dotphiles's theme working properly for a while, this happens.

I'm not sure how to debug it. It looks like two prompts are created when I'm in half screen, but when I expand it out, it shows that its actually one prompt

Once it happens once, it happens over and over again, and sometimes gets bigger.

Again, looks like seperate lines, but isn't, here is the same screen in a wider view.

It resets on starting a new terminal, and I can't find a single cause.

Any suggestions of what I can do to figure out why it is happening?

How strange, dont think I've ever noticed anything like that....

Can you post the following??

echo $PS1
echo $MAINPROMPT
echo $prompt_detail
echo $prompt_seperator
echo $RPROMPT
echo $COLUMNS

Should be able to figure out whats happening then...maybe :)

Here you go:

*❯❯ *echo $PS1

%{$MAINPROMPT%}%{$prompt_detail%}%{$prompt_seperator%}

$SUBPROMPT

• ❯❯ *echo $MAINPROMPT

%(!.%U%{%}.%{%})%n%u%{%} on %{%}ubuntu%u%{%} in %{*%}%5~ *

• ❯❯ *echo $prompt_detail

%{%{%}❮%{%}git%{%}:%{%}master%{%}▸%{%}origin/master%{%}%{%}❯ %}

• ❯❯ *echo $prompt_seperator
• ❯❯ *echo $RPROMPT

${editor_info[keymap]}${editor_info[overwrite]}${VIM:+"
%B%{$prompt_green%}V%b%{$prompt_reset%}"}

I figured something out!

If I enter the command COLUMNS=80 it resets the prompt to normal. If I
enter above 100 (in half screen) then it goes back to the malformed two
line one.

Hence $COLUMNS is triggering something...

COLUMNS should be set to the width of your terminal....if its over 80, then it includes all the 'extras', otherwise just the basic prompt...what terminal are you using? I cant seem to replicate it under iterm2 or terminal on osx.

[nbellowe]

I'm just in terminal. Any more ideas on where to check?

[nbellowe]

Try my fork of all of dotphiles, and lets see if that reproduces it on another computer.

I'll have a look this evening and clone your repo, also just seen https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=97880 which sounds the same...I'm using zsh 5.0.7 from homebrew, what version do you have installed....just been trying it out with a git stash to see if thats related..i very rarely stash anything. Will let you know if I find anything.

[nbellowe]

Please do, I will let you know if I figure it out.
