⌘E inconsistent highlighting on second invocation with same string
Bug report
- iTerm2 version: Build 3.5.0beta18
- OS version: Ventura 13.6.3
- Attach
~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist
com.googlecode.iterm2.plist - Attach a debug log, if possible: N/A
Detailed steps to reproduce the problem
- open new iTerm widow of around 25 rows in height
- do not have a search window open (i.e. no ⌘F mini window)
- do
ls -l
on a directory with 15 or so files - select one of the date months where there's more than one, e.g.
Dec
then ⌘E - do
ls -l
again - Selected the same string again (e.g.
Dec
) and then ⌘E again
What happened
Nothing changes on the second ⌘E invocation on the same selected string (Dec
).
What should have happened
The additional Dec
s from the second ls -l
should have been added to the original highlighted Dec
s. Moreover, this should happen on each ⌘E for whatever the last string used for ⌘E was even without double click selecting the same string again.
Its the current behavior of ⌘E only highlighting the current buffer (that is, not updating the highlights as new data is added like what happens when a ⌘F mini window is open) is very useful. But subsequent highlight updates of the current scroll buffer for whatever the last string used for ⌘E should also work.
Thank you for all the hard work!
