Hi,
I'm using zsh 4.3.2 at a Debian unstable box. Usually I start a GNU
screen session and work with several zsh windows in it. However, when I
open a new window (Strg+A c), it sometimes takes some time until the
shell prompt appears (machine is under some load). I begin typing right
after I opened the window and alle characters which were typed before
the prompt comes up, don't show up at the prompt.
example:
^Ac
alongcommanjens@qbiathome:~/ >dname
In this example I want to enter 'alongcommandname', but only dname came
up. The rest is before the PS1 and can't be used.
Someone in IRC thought it could be a specific screen setting. So I
tested screen without config and got the same behaviour.
Do you have any ideas what settings cause this (or can I provide more
info)?. Any helpful hint would be nice.
Thanks

On my computer, I have the same setup (plus I make screen startups automatic
in .zshrc if I'm not already in a screen). For me, anything typed before
the prompt is saved and appears correctly when zsh is done loading. So I
doubt it's a screen-specific setting. But it may be a termcap issue - try
using a different virtual terminal - or perhaps it has to do with the
always_last_prompt (is that the name?) zsh option being set.
