Subject: ^L printed when resizing Emacs split window using ksh93 
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2020 23:23:05 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I have attached a screen shot of the issue.  The issue occurs when Emacs is in split window mode, X session and M-x shell is invoked.  The shell is ksh93.  I tried finding the Emacs bug tracker, however this is the only method I found to file a bug. This has been reproduced by others.

Screenshot of issue:
http://nickpapadonis.com/images-share/emacs-ksh-0.png <http://nickpapadonis.com/images-share/emacs-ksh-0.png>

PS2 is printed multiple times during the resize.  When entered is pressed after the resize, multiple ^L s are displayed.  I set PS2="" and the brackets are omitted, however ^L still remain after pressing enter.

Is this a known issue?  I have CC'd KSH list in case the problem is on the ksh93 side.

Thanks

Emacs 26.1 build 2.

Yes.  Here's the text from the Emacs PROBLEMS file:

  *** In Shell buffers using ksh, resizing a window inserts random characters.
  
  The characters come from the PS2 prompt, but they are not followed by
  a newline, which messes up the next command you type.  This strange
  effect is caused by Emacs 25 and later telling the shell that its
  screen size changed.
  
  To work around the problem, customize the option
  'window-adjust-process-window-size-function' to "Do not adjust process
  window sizes" (Lisp value 'ignore').
  
regards,
mike

I tried to reproduce this in Emacs 26.1 (and 28), but I was unable to.
Do you have a recipe, starting from "emacs -Q", that displays the
problem?

I tried:

emacs -Q
(setq shell-file-name "/bin/ksh")
M-x shell

and then resizing the window, and nothing untoward happened.

Try

  emacs -Q
  M-x shell
  $ ksh
  C-x 2

On my Debian desktop (running Buster), that's enough to provoke
misbehavior, without even resizing.  Resizing just makes the issue more
apparent. :-) This is with Emacs 27.2 and Emacs 28 (15c57fc4cc); the
build information for Emacs 28 is below.  (The git changeset doesn't
match what I just wrote because my build includes a couple MH-E fixes
that I need to get reviewed before pushing to savannah.)

I also see the problem on a Debian Bullseye test system, using the
bundled Emacs 27.1 (emacs-lucid build).

cheers,
mike

I'm also using Debian/bullseye, and it doesn't misbehave for me:

Looks pretty similar...  but mine is with Gtk and yours is without?
(And of course a newer version of ksh etc, I guess.)

Hmm.  I replaced emacs-lucid with emacs-gtk on my bullseye system, and
I'm still seeing it.

I tried unsetting IGNOREEOF; that didn't make a difference.  And
changing SHELL to /usr/bin/ksh didn't make a difference.  Maybe there's
something about EDITOR, TERM, or TERMCAP?

I noticed that EDITOR is not set for you.  But unsetting it didn't make
a difference for me.

I'm afraid I won't have time today to look at this further, and probably
not tomorrow, either.  But I might have some time on Thursday.

This has nothing to do with Emacs.  You can reproduce that in any
terminal if you disable echo.

$ stty -echo; ksh

I'm not sure I follow.  Do you mean run that command and then resize the
terminal emulator?  That doesn't reproduce the problem for me, using
mate-terminal, xfce4-terminal, or xterm.

Make sure the emacs (or vi) option is enabled.

Ah, right, I had EDITOR set to a wrapper script.

Yes, I can now reproduce the problem with just ksh and a terminal
emulator, without Emacs.

What are the steps to reproduce this, then?

1. $ export EDITOR=emacs; stty -echo; ksh
2. resize the terminal emulator (either vertically or horizontally)

In the screenshot, the first "not found" came from pressing RET after a
vertical resize.  The second "not found" came from typing "date RET"
after a horizontal resize.  The ">" characters appear during the
resizing.

Ah, right -- I can reproduce this, too (on Debian/bullseye).

Yup.

Is this something we can do something about on the Emacs side, or is it
just a ksh bug/feature?

Well, there's the workaround listed in etc/PROBLEMS:

    To work around the problem, customize the option
    'window-adjust-process-window-size-function' to "Do not adjust process
    window sizes" (Lisp value 'ignore').

Beyond that, I don't know.

It's a ksh bug.

Thanks.  I'm closing this in the Emacs bug tracker, then, and it should
be reported to the ksh maintainers instead.
