Gopass: Wizard UI broken

[schmunk42]

My wizard look like this:

• Arch Linux
• zsh 5.4.2 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
• gopass 1.6.10 (2018-01-21 15:53:49) go1.9.2 linux amd64

Sorry, but I can't reproduce this.
Could you quickly try to run the wizard in another shell (bash or zsh without customizations)?

[schmunk42]

bash without custom font, does not look better...

Also, when I try to select something via cursor keys the wizard immediately fails with

Error: failed to run onboarding wizard: user aborted

Character encoding is set to UTF-8

[schmunk42]

Found something .... my default setting is

echo $TERM
xterm-256color

when I set it to

export TERM=linux

the interactive part looks fine.

[update]
works even better with TERM=xterm-color

Same as schmunk42 here: broken with (default) xterm-256color, ok with xterm-color.

[dominikschulz]

The problem is most probably in one of the TUI libraries gopass is using (gocui, termbox-go).
I wonder if we can work around this by setting TERM=xterm-color on startup.

[schmunk42]

What works for me also, is:

alias gopass='TERM=xterm-color gopass'

in .bashrc.

After a recent Arch update (unsure which package), mine now looks like this too w/ pretty much stock bash. I can confirm setting the TERM variable did fix it.

I was bitten by the Arch rolling updates too. Workaround from @schmunk42 works perfectly though. Before stumbling across this issue, I did tinker with a few other terminal emulators and found a couple that weren't affected: terminology (presumably because it is EFL-based rather than xterm-based) and rxvt-unicode.

[metalmatze]

Yes. I've seen this before too.
But now it seems like it is resolved. At least for me.

[dominikschulz]

Hmm, would be nice to a get a confirmation for the others affected by this, since I was never able to reproduce it.

[kelveden]

@dominikschulz Unfortunately I'm working on a Mac today and so can't replicate but I've set a reminder to check when I'm on my Arch Linux box again tomorrow - I'll remove the workaround and see what happens.

[kelveden]

@dominikschulz I can confirm that it's still producing the original problem - gopass 1.6.11.

And just to reiterate: if I leave TERM as default (i.e. xterm-256color) in my shell I get the problem. If I set TERM to xterm-color when starting gopass the problem goes away.

[dominikschulz]

In #789 we updated the terminal libs, so this might be fixed.

[dominikschulz]

I'm closing this for now. Just raise another issue if this comes up again.

The bug is fixed for me now, thank you.
