Editing History under Zsh 3.0.1

Editing History under Zsh 3.0.1

[Richard A. Guay]

Hi,

I have noticed that the latest version of zsh, 3.0.1, goes a
little crazy if you <up arrow> for previous command and then
use <ctl-a> and edit the beginning of the line.  It will put multiple
characters sometimes (not always reproducable, but most of the
time.).  The longer the previous line was, the worse the result.

I have seen this under SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris 2.5 (SparcStations).

I am using emacs key bindings.

Editing History under Zsh 3.0.1

I've seen this also on Solaris 2.5.1 but I've not seen it running the
3.0.0 zsh.

My terminals are usually rxvt running on Linux.  I haven't check any
other terminal types.

I sent some patches in for this and hopefully your problem has been fixed.
You can either wait for 3.0.2 (or 3.1) to come out, get the patch from
the ftp sites called "testing/zsh-3.1.0-test3.diff.gz" and only patch the file
zle_refresh.c unless you want the whole test(!) `upgrade', or I can email the
patch to you.

I tried the patches, but still I'm in face of the same problem under
SunOS4.1.4 and Solaris2.4.  Should I wait for 3.0.2?
