Weird display issues inside GNU screen
Closed this issue · 8 comments
If I start pg_activity inside of an xterm window, I see this:
Looks very nice! I think this is how it is supposed to look, although there are no blue dots/bullets between the items at the top. That's probably just be a font issue though. $TERM is "xterm256-color".
If I start GNU screen inside of the same xterm window, I see this:
This doesn't look right. All the items at the top are on separate lines for some reason? And some lines are completely missing, like the database version and server name.
P.S. I figured out why I was getting â instead of the bullets/dots in my macOS Terminal window. Terminal profile was set to Latin-1 instead of UTF-8. When I changed it to UTF-8, I got the blue bullets/dots. That said, can you point me to where in the code the blue dots/bullets are printed? I'd like to change that character to something else....
EDIT: Hmmm, using xterm on RHEL 8.7 with $TERM set to "xterm-color" (not inside of GNU screen), I get blue squares instead of the blue dots/bullets:
I can't reproduce (don't use macOS, nor RHEL directly myself); but will fix through #357.

You started pg_activity inside of GNU screen and couldn't reproduce what I'm seeing in the second screenshot? I don't think this has anything to do with macOS or RHEL....
And #357 only changes the blue dots (thanks for that), but I don't see what that has to do with GNU screen.

Yes; that's what I did. Even tried in a Linux virtual console, where I could indeed notice that the blue dots were not rendering well (quite similarly to your third screenshot); in fact, the "blue dots issue" happens on this virtual console even without screen, so it's unrelated to screen I think.
Can you try if #357 resolves the issue of your second screenshot?
Yes; that's what I did.
What version of GNU screen did you try?

Yeah, I thought my "P.S." made that clear.

Um, how do I do that? I've tried the following:
python3 -m pip install "git+https://github.com/dalibo/pg_activity@dot" --upgrade --user
python3 -m pip install "git+https://github.com/dalibo/pg_activity@f7c31d7484276cdb595ec5e4842c615ad00d7381" --upgrade --user
python3 -m pip install "git+https://github.com/dalibo/pg_activity.git@f7c31d7484276cdb595ec5e4842c615ad00d7381" --upgrade --user
I get:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 128: git checkout -q f7c31d7484276cdb595ec5e4842c615ad00d7381 Check the logs for full command output.
Ah, I figured it out. It was
python3 -m pip install "git+https://github.com/dlax/pg_activity.git@dot" --upgrade --user
And it fixed it! pg_activity looks great inside of my GNU screen now!
I was skeptical, but, yeah, just changing the dot/bullet to a comma did the trick. Thanks!
Version 3.3.0, just released, includes the fix for this issue.
