Htop: Broken background colors under tmux

[mmarzantowicz]

I'm using htop a lot under tmux (terminal multiplexer). Since upgrade from 2.0.2 to 2.1.0 I'm experiencing some defects in htop not present in 2.0.x .

To illustrate what am I talking about I attach two images - one with htop and tmux and one without tmux:

What is the recommended way to debug this issue or maybe it's already known?

This is fixed in the latest master, 2.1.1 is coming :)

I'm using version 2.6 but I'm still seeing the black squares as above.

I'm using version 2.6 but I'm still seeing the black squares as above.

To clarify for anyone else reading, I believe karimn was looking at his tmux version, while this is fixed in htop itself. I am on ubuntu 18.04 and unfortunately the new version of htop (>=2.1.1) is not in the repos (only 2.1.0: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/htop ), so I had to install it from the provided tars like this:

sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev
wget https://hisham.hm/htop/releases/2.2.0/htop-2.2.0.tar.gz
tar xvf htop-2.2.0.tar.gz
cd htop-2.2.0/
./configure && make
sudo make install

This fixed the black bars issue in tmux for me. Hopefully it helps.
