Hello.

There are problems when using color in ZCALCPROMPT.
This is simple fix.

Are you using colour the proper way for a prompt?

ZCALCPROMPT="%F{red}%1v%f> "

This works fine.

In general, when making bug reports, please be much more specific than
simply "there are problems".

No. Try to type long line.

Excuse me, but I don't know how to describe this problems. And I 
thought, that patch is the better explanation.
-p for vared indicates, that the string will be taken as the prompt, and 
it doesn't need the prompt expansion flag (%).

What line exactly? What do you do to trigger the bug?
Can you reproduce it with zsh -f, and if not, what do you
need to do so that you can reproduce it?

I thought it would be much easier.
This is very simple bug. It occurs due to the incorrect prompt length 
calculations. It reproduces with zsh -f.
% zsh -f
% autoload zcalc
% ZCALCPROMPT="%F{red}%1v%f> "
% echo "$COLUMNS - `echo "${(%)ZCALCPROMPT}" | wc -c`" | bc
67
% zcalc

edit beginning of the line anymore.

Having the example you gave, it is trivial for anyone to try and reproduce
the bug. Also, it makes it easier (or even possible) to see what went
wrong.

Confirmed for 4.3.9.

Ah, right, vared -p obeys the PROMPTPERCENT option so we don't need the
(%) in any case.

That's not very surprising considering 4.3.10 was released before the fix.
If you want debian to backport fixes, maybe you should talk to them?

Thanks. No problems, but I've just thought that 4.3.10 was released 
after this fix.
