😱 Whoa, this isn't something we've seen or are able to reproduce. Would you mind sharing how you installed
ghand what OS you're using, and maybe any additional information you think might be relevant for us to figure out what's going on here?Sure!
My system is:
Linux euler 5.5.3-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue, 11 Feb 2020 15:35:41 +0000 x86_64 GNU/LinuxI've installed the command from the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/github-cli/
My go version is:
go version go1.13.7 linux/amd64
And maybe this issue in one of the dependencies has a similar output (but not the same): AlecAivazis/survey#101
@pitakill Thanks for reporting this. I was able to reproduce this on OSX and Linux.
v0.5.4.The root cause is the width of your terminal window. If it is under the width of the "What's next..." sentence, then this happens when you attempt to select an option.
Looks like the text is being cut-off when the window is too narrow, prompting the application to try and print it again -> loop.
Reacted by Mislav MarohnićI could also reproduce this bug (using Konsole in Fedora KDE Plasma)
This is definitely a bug in thesurveydependency, as the same version and code runs properly on another terminal (the vscode in-built terminal)
It doesn't look like an issue with the terminal width. Konsole was full screen when I was using it, but still this error occurred. (While the vscode terminal was of smaller width than it, and it worked there)Reacted by Mislav MarohnićI think this was solved by an upgrade to the Survey library that we're using. Please comment if you can still reproduce this issue in
trunk, or after the next release!Hi, this bug still affect my version
gh --version > gh version 1.2.0 (2020-10-27) > https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/latest
Do you have any clue or workaround on how to fix this ?
