Package: zsh Version: 4.3.10-11 Severity: important Under some conditions, history-incremental-search-backward can freeze in a UTF-8 terminal (e.g. if the user shares his history and uses different terminals with different locales).
Testcase: 1. Type in an ISO-8859-1 terminal: echo zzé zz 2. In a UTF-8 terminal: history-incremental-search-backward then type z A patch can be found here: http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2010/msg00256.html Note: the problem can occur even if the user isn't interested in the command line in question, as the command line can be obtained while the user hasn't finished to type some word. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages zsh depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcap2 1:2.17-2 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libncursesw5 5.7+20100313-1 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages zsh recommends: ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpcre3 7.8-3 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi Versions of packages zsh suggests: ii zsh-doc 4.3.10-11 zsh documentation - info/HTML form -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
