Hi,
I got the following style command from this list a little while ago.
It was given as an example of colored completion.
zstyle ':completion:*:zsh-options' \
list-colors '=csh*=31:=*hist*=32:=list*=34:=*glob*=35'
Now, everytime I attempt a completion which uses zsh-options, it seems
ZLS_COLORS just continues to grow:
No completion:
di=33
After first completion:
(zsh-options)=csh*=31:=*hist*=32:=list*=34:=*glob*=35:(zsh-options)\
=csh*=31:=*hist*=32:=list*=34:=*glob*=35:di=33
After second completion:
(zsh-options)=csh*=31:=*hist*=32:=list*=34:=*glob*=35:(zsh-options)\
=csh*=31:=*hist*=32:=list*=34:=*glob*=35:(zsh-options)=csh*=31:=*hist*=32:\
=list*=34:=*glob*=35:di=33
Eventually, ZLS_COLORS grows too long for whatever processing is done
(I think awk ends up complaining). Is there something I can do to
prevent this behavior?
Thanks,
Matt

Yes, I was noticing this myself. It's happening because some code at the
top of the _setup function tries to merge your list-colors style with the
existing global value of $ZLS_COLORS, but then the old value of $ZLS_COLORS
doesn't get automatically restored when completion is done (the code to do
the restore in _main_complete is conditional upon $compstate[old_list]).
The best workaround for the time being is to assign to ZLS_COLORS in your
precmd function. If you don't already have a precmd, it'd look like this:
function precmd() {
ZLS_COLORS='di=33'
}
Otherwise just add that assignment to whatever you already have in precmd.
