The problem is bolding and such doesn't work for WATCHFMT anymore. It broke between beta8 and beta9. There is a one line fix, but it probably isn't the "right" fix. zle_misc.c: line 683 change beta9+: tputs(tcstr[cap], 1, putshout); to beta8-: tputs(tcstr[cap], 1, putraw); It would be great if someone could tell me the "real" solution. Also wonder why the watch stuff doesn't just use the same code as print -P or PROMPT. Thanks. Also new bug: ^ by itself crashes zsh. Simple solution is a null check in subst, but again thats probably not the "right" solution. -- awick@vt.edu Andy Wick awick@yertle.fp.trw.com Virginia Tech/TRW It may be that your whole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
