Spaceship-prompt: node symbol overlap on Windows with hyper

[darkristy]

Current behavior

Registering double symbols I do not know why it is doing this. I uninstalled everything nothing fixes it.

Expected behavior

Spaceship-prompt is not tested for Windows and we can't guarantee everything works perfectly, primarily because we don't use Windows. It would be awesome if someone is willing to contribute on Windows support.

In this issue, There seems some color overlaps between sections, apart from symbol rendering. Older version of Zsh tends to cause such issue, What is your Zsh version ?

[darkristy]

zsh 5.4.2

[riyacchi]

Having the same issue on a normal Ubuntu 18.04 install using WSL. My zsh version is also at 5.4.2.

This setup has worked beautifully in the past and didn't exhibit any issues whatsoever, but just now recently broke.

[salmanulfarzy]

Common denominator on both cases is the operating system, Windows. We need someone with similar setup to help you, Sorry for that.

This setup has worked beautifully in the past and didn't exhibit any issues whatsoever, but just now recently broke.

What has changed since then to cause this ?

[riyacchi]

What has changed since then to cause this ?

In my case, zsh pushed an update, which broke it for me. Prior to the 5.4.2 update I've used spaceship w/ WSL for a good year and haven't had any issues whatsoever.

Might be a bug with zsh and WSL.

EDIT: It might be worth noting that other zsh themes haven't broken (so far).

Another thing when I load up the terminal in vscode it doesnt do that.

[riyacchi]

After some digging and debugging myself I found the issue:

It seems to be a problem with applications using xterm.js as their terminal. Xterm seems to fail at rendering double-width unicode emojis (e.g. the package icon). Visual Studio Code and Hyper for instance both using xterm.js exhibit this issue.

Other terminals like Windows Terminal do not have this problem.

My solution was to just disable the package icon for now (the Node.js icon works fine, since it's only a single-width emoji), which solved my problem completely.

I think it might be worth opening an issue on xterm.js' GitHub, addressing this problem.

Excellent @riyacchi :clap: xterm.js has a related issue at https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/issues/1059.

Closing this now since this is not directly related to prompt theme amd we can't do much about this.
