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. 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.
