I've been using Zsh for about 15 years, now, and I believe this is the first time I've ever observed behavior that I didn't explicitly call for or impli- citly (such as with options) call for. This ampersand jumping: 1. is intermittent; 2. only seems to occur with single-word commands (i.e. the two-word command "% ooffice foo.sxw &" remains as is upon my hitting the enter key); 3. only occurs in local rxvt(1) rather than remote ssh(1) shells (both of which use identical ~/.z* startup files); My environment--along with pointers to all my ~/.z* startup files--is: /----------------------------- % uname -a Linux patagonia 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686 GNU/Linux % cat /etc/debian_version 3.1 % echo $myrxvt_ARGLIST -fg rgb:00/00/00 -bg rgb:dd/93/5d -g 80x48 -fn 7x14 --cutchars \<\> -si \ +sk -sl 3000 -sr -st -vb % echo $ZSH_VERSION 4.2.5 % setopt allexport autocd noautolist nobeep nobgnice correctall extendedglob histignoredups nohup ignoreeof interactive interactivecomments longlistjobs markdirs menucomplete monitor nonomatch pathdirs pushdsilent shinstdin zle % lynx -dump http://www.ixian.com/ead/tmp/ my Zsh startup files * [1].zlogin * [2].zlogin.aux * [3].zlogout * [4].zshenv * [5].zshrc References 1. http://www.ixian.com/ead/tmp/.zlogin 2. http://www.ixian.com/ead/tmp/.zlogin.aux 3. http://www.ixian.com/ead/tmp/.zlogout 4. http://www.ixian.com/ead/tmp/.zshenv 5. http://www.ixian.com/ead/tmp/.zshrc % \----------------------------- Thank you.
