bug#5255: 23.1.90; Wrong prompt in term |
|
Date: |
Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:44:21 -0300 |
In emacs 23.1 when I use M-x term the prompt is rendered correctly to
whatever is defined on the PS1 environment variable. But in 23.1.90.1 it
prompts whatever is defined in the PS1 but also before that, it prompts
0;<user>@<host>:<location>.
The steps to reproduce it are quite simple:
emacs -Q
M-x term
The prompt is rendered like this:
0;address@hidden:~/Builds/address@hidden emacs]$
Since my PS1 is set to
PS1='address@hidden \W]\$ '
the expected result is:
address@hidden emacs]$

Changing the value of TERM is a bad idea, unless you know exactly what
you are doing.

"\033]0;address@hidden:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'
Using PROMPT_COMMAND is not a good idea, the same thing can be done with
just setting the prompt.
