new windows start with a leading space on the command line

[Deeps]

Binary package hint: screen-profiles

When hitting F2 to create a new terminal window, after accepting the default name or specifying a custom name, a new terminal is created, with a leading space on the command line.

This may be the result of a race hazard (ie, my machine is too slow), but this also means that the first line is indented.
e.g.

normal shell line is
user@machine:~$ []

whereas a new window in screen-profiles is
 user@machine:~$ []

([] is my terminal's character marker thingy)

there's a leading space not only before the username (as it's there before the terminal draws the PS1), but also then on the command line once the PS1 is drawn.

Hope that's clear!

Oh, and this doesn't occur when a new window is created the 'normal' way, ie using ^G-c

Fix committed, will be in 1.9 release

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package screen-profiles - 1.9-0ubuntu1

---------------
screen-profiles (1.9-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  [Nicolas Barcet]
  * use gettext in screen-profiles-helper (LP: #317245)

  [ Dustin Kirkland ]
  * keybindings/common: fix leading whitespace on new window creation
    LP: #317558
  * keybindings/common, doc/help.txt: change the default escape sequence
    back to ctrl-a
  * profiles/common, bin/updates-available: the updates-available script now
    caches its value, expiring that value every 60 minutes; so subsequent
    checks are much cheaper; we can allow the screen status script to run
    more frequently now, since most will be cache checks; we'll really benefit
    from this in Jaunty
  * debian/control: remove buildeps on gettext, po4a, which are only called
    in the prebuild; depend on ${misc:Depends} with debhelper >= 5
  * debian/rules: use dh_testdir in get-orig-source, dh_clean to clean up
    build; run as 'debian/rules get-orig-source'; removing dh_installdirs as
    its not needed; add dh_md5sums
  * debian/dirs: not needed, removing
  * debian/copyright: updated to use canonical.com address, attribute
    Canonical copyright, and mention Nick as co-author
  * select-screen-profile.1: fixed typo
  * bin/*, *: use -e for shell scripts
  * bin/updates-available: cache updates available count in the user's
    homedir, rather than world-writable /var/tmp (race conditions exist)
  * screen-launcher.1, screen-profiles-helper.1: new manpages
