.tmux: Username truncated in right-status; help?

[beschissen]

Username is truncated in right-status; username in question is nine characters in length however tmux is only displaying seven characters of said username with a '+' appended to the seven characters shown. I've been searching and combing through lines to no avail -- any insight into this would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @beschissen 👋

Which OS are you running?

[beschissen]

Hello @gpakosz! Thanks for replying so swiftly!

OS is Arch Linux x86_64, terminal is Guake

[gpakosz]

Alright,

Can you please launch the following command from within tmux please?

$ ps -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user= -o pid= -o command=

And also

$ whoami

[beschissen]

$ ps -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user= -o pid= -o command=

produces the following two lines:

meursau+  5479 -zsh
meursau+ 19291 ps -t /dev/pts/1 -o user= -o pid= command=

while whoami results in the expected username, meursault

[gpakosz]

Does the following help?

$ COLUMNS=32 ps -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user= -o pid= -o command=

[beschissen]

$ COLUMNS=32 ps -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user= -o pid= -o command=

produces the following two lines

meursau+ 4981 ps -t /dev/pts/1
meursau+ 5479 -zsh

I reloaded the tmux configuration and restarted the terminal; unfortunately it doesn't seem to have had an effect.

[gpakosz]

Ok,

Can you please try

$ ps -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user:32= -o pid= -o command=

And

$ ps -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -o pid= -o command=

[gpakosz]

And finally, can you please try

ps -ww -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user= -o pid= -o command=

[beschissen]

$ ps -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user:32= -o pid= -o command=

produces the following two lines:

meursault                        15549 -zsh
meursault                        16326 ps -t /dev/pts/5 -o user:32= -o pid= -o command=

while

$ ps -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -o pid= -o command=

produces the following three lines:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX       ~
meursault                        15549 -zsh
meursault                        16695 ps -t /dev/pts/5 -o user=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -o pid= -o command=~

and

ps -ww -t $(tmux display -p '#{pane_tty}') -o user= -o pid= -o command=

produces the following two lines:

meursau+ 15549 -zsh
meursau+ 17173 ps -ww -t /dev/pts/5 -o user= -o pid= -o command=

[gpakosz]

Can you please give the gh-241 branch a try for a while?

[beschissen]

Looks like that did the trick! Thank you so much - trying to troubleshoot this has been a distraction for months, I really appreciate your help!

[gpakosz]

You're welcome, thanks for helping investigating it 🤝

I'll close this issue when I merge the branch

[beschissen]

Ahh my bad - still getting the hang of GitHub haha. Thank you again!

I came across this problem , and gh-241 、master branch doesnot work for me.
However , I look into the commit history and tried 8809af7c , it works!
Just want to leave a message to help others.
btw, my env is debian 9. tmux 3.2
