SUMMARY

On konsole master, this stops visually updating the terminal into which it is entered:

echo -e '\e]0;very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string very long string\a'

You may need to make the string longer if you have a very wide monitor.

Note that konsole still processes input (you can `exit<Enter>`).

I encountered this bug while I was using zsh with:

# preexec is run after you hit Enter, but before the command is run
preexec() {
	# Set the terminal title to 'hostname# the command being run'
	#
	# See http://www.zsh.org/mla/users/2004/msg00948.html
	# "Re: question about quoting % in preexec" to understand
	# the escaping strategy here.
	print -Pn '\e]0;%m# '
	print -rn -- "$1"
	print -Pn '\a'
}

konsole 19.08.3 works fine, so this regressed somewhere after that and before 4444f288940184c479f5d9aad17b718f702a3ce9. I tested on NixOS master, x86_64.




STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Build and run konsole master
2. Run the echo -e command above
3. Observe apparently stuck console, no more visual updates

I tested by applying https://gist.github.com/ivan/ec0fabe224e32c99a25f65eaabf65d72 onto nixpkgs master
