Yes, we had a bit of trouble with the execution code lately
(sigh). This has already been fixed, though, try the latest version
available at ftp.zsh.org/testing/zsh-3.1.6-test-1.tar.gz (there is
also a patch file for test-2).

Hm, one problem might be that the refresh code doesn't know about the
stuff in the %{...%} and thus gets confused because the prompt itself
is not re-displayed after printing a completion list. Personally I
only use a highlighted prompt with the turn-off-stuff in POSTEDIT and
normal %B stuff in the prompt, which, of course, works fine.

Dunno if we should change the code to print the stuff inside %{... %}
pairs after a list has been displayed.

Bye
