One big and one little problem with ZSH-3.1.5-pws-25

One big and one little problem with ZSH-3.1.5-pws-25

[Jeremie Petit]

Hello,

  I have two problems to report about ZSH-3.1.5-pws-25 compiled
on Digital Unix 4.0D, with the native C compiler:

  Big Problem:
  ============

  One thing that worked with -pwd-20 and no more with -pwd-25
(I don't know in which version the problem happened), is that
when I do loops where I call ls for example, at a moment I get
a "job table full" error message. An example as:

    while true
>-> do
>->   ls a_file
>-> done

  leads to "zsh: job table full" after 48 times "ls" was performed.

  Light Problem:
  ==============

  I've configured my prompt to use colors:

  PROMPT="%{^[[38;5;47;1m%}[%m]%{^[[38;5;225m%}%~%{^[[m%}:
%{^[[38;5;210;1m%}"

  (Escape codes may not be visible here, but they work!)
  I've compiled last xterm-112 with 256 colors support.

  When I write my command after the prompt, It's of the good color, but
when
I try to complete with "TAB", the texts becomes as the default (not bold
&
white for me)

  If I use a %B at the end, even when completing, the command (not the 
completion list, I don't care about it) on the command line is bold, so
it behaves correctly.

  Any idea why this doesn't work (FYI, I removed the RPROMPT for this
test 
purpose)

Best regards, continue the good work on this shell I've been using for
6 years now with great pleasure!

 Jeremie Petit.

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
 Sven
