.tmux: Statusbar broken on High Sierra 10.13

[eluft84]

Hi,
since the update to OSX High Sierra the status is broken. Sometimes the shell input is also jumping one line. So very strange.

Any ideas?

I don't run High Sierra yet. I suspect this is caused by tmux and the OS disagreeing on the width of Unicode symbols.

[eluft84]

That´s really strange. I changed the font to something else and then back to Meslo L and now i have few _ in the prompt and status bar.

$ tmux show -gv status-left

$ tmux -f /dev/null

And from there try to set status-left and status-right incrementally with portions of what tmux show -gv outputted until you find what exactly breaks in your setup.

[eluft84]

You´re right. Something is broken in #{?battery_status, #{battery_status},} :-(

[gpakosz]

Which symbols are you using for the battery indicators?

Try to revert to the safer

tmux_conf_battery_status_charging='↑'       # U+2191
tmux_conf_battery_status_discharging='↓'    # U+2193

in your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy

[eluft84]

Bingo ;)
I used

tmux_conf_battery_status_discharging='↓'    # U+2193
tmux_conf_battery_status_charging='⚡'    # U+26A1

With charging tmux_conf_battery_status_charging='↑' # U+2191 issue is no longer reproducible. Any idea why? Because it works before and i can see the icon, but then the status bar is broken.

If you're using iTerm2, you may want to play with the following setting:

Hope that helps.

@gpakosz Thanks! I will try.
