Can anyone give me some direction on what is wrong with Putty that is causing this? Note that PuTTY is set to an encoding of UTF-8, and the line characters are set to be handled with Unicode. Also, i've tried every combination i can think of.. spent hours on this and still no end in sight.. any help would be much appreciated.
Here is what putty looks like..
lq(lee@work:pts/5)qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq(~)qk
mq(%) echo $TERM qj
xterm
lq(lee@work:pts/5)qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq(~)qk
mq(%) echo $LANG qj
en_US.UTF-8
lq(lee@work:pts/5)qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq(~)qk
mq(%) qj
And what really confuses me.. is here is what screen looks like.. (Note that screen was launched in the same zsh session shown above.)
┌─(lee@work:pts/4)────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────(~)─┐
└─(%) echo $TERM ─┘
screen
┌─(lee@work:pts/4)────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────(~)─┐
└─(%) echo $LANG ─┘
en_US.UTF-8
┌─(lee@work:pts/4)────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────(~)─┐
└─(%) ─┘
Screen is obviously showing what i desire.. yet i cannot figure out why ZSH is not rendering properly.. Anyone have any ideas?
Annoying bug. I used to change my terminfo entries to remove the vt100 line drawing ability so that ncurses apps would just use

to draw lines instead to work around it. – Arrowmaster – 2011-04-16T11:10:02.000Yup, as i was digging i ran into a Debian bug report with a temporary solution of doing what you described. Using the Unicode line characters directly. I was hoping for a more elegant solution, but this'll work just fine :) – None – 2011-04-16T15:01:23.043
