prompt bug?

prompt bug?

[Gabor]

I discovered this interesting anomoly in my prompt

=== home/gabor $ cd /
=== / $ cd tmp
=== //tmp $ 

Interesting little extra slash there.  Is zsh just trying to make sure
I know tmp is off root?  My prompt is like

PS1='=== %(3/;%2/;%/) $ '

Can't reproduce this here:

jean-luc@picard (ttypts/16) ~> PS1='=== %(3/;%2/;%/) $ '
=== /home/jean-luc $ cd /
=== / $ cd tmp
=== /tmp $ cd /
=== / $ cd /tmp
=== /tmp $ echo $ZSH_VERSION 
3.1.6

*uhm*
Which version are you running? 3.0.6?

CU,
Thomas

Just a followup.  This is still a bug in 3.1.6-pws-6. I originally
reported it on 3.1.6-pws-5.   I also tested on 3.1.6 and it is the
same.

=== /home/gabor $ cd /
=== / $ cd tmp
=== //tmp $ print $ZSH_VERSION
3.1.6-pws-6
=== //tmp $ unsetopt chaselinks
=== //tmp $ cd /
=== / $ cd tmp
=== /tmp $

It's obviously affected by the setting of chaselinks.  Any comments?

Have you looked at "echo $PWD" lately?  It has two slashes as well in
that instance.  The prompt is not what's messed up, the value of $PWD is.

If how this happened is obvious to anyone, speak up, otherwise I may get
a look at it eventually along with other "cd" related stuff.
