No... I do not know what you mean by this. Can you post some output or a screenshot?
It'd be kind of difficult since the problem is mostly about what doesn't show up.
It's like when you turn on flow control with ^S, type 'ls; echo foo' and press enter, then press ^Q.
Except that I'm free to press enter and see the feedback on my scrollback buffer from the commands that I press, whithout seeing a "preview" of it to the right of my $PS1.
I've now isolated the problem and it does not happen with every su operation, only when cancelling the su password prompt.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. I uninstall asciidoc 2. curl http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-git/pacman-git.tar.gz | tar xz 3. cd pacman-git; makepkg -s 4. When it shows the su password prompt, I hit ^C
What I type is now invisible until I `reset`. Does not happen with sudo nor from regular calls like `su -c ls` from my shell.
ah... I can replicate. This is weird. Perhaps some sort of pipe is still capturing the output?
btw, I cannot get master nor latest tag to pipe files named after versioned deps to $startdir; e.g. $startdir/4. makepkg falling back to su still calls pacman -T correctly.
1. update ABS 2. cp /var/abs/community-testing/pacman-contrib/* . 3. adjust dependencies to be depends=('pacman>4') 4. makepkg -s, type in your password. It will reinstall pacman from the repos and then bail because on missing deps 5. notice file named "4" in you directory containing pacman output...
