Colors stopped to work in Completion Selection (raw SGR escape code is rendered instead)

[xak2000]

After updating from 1.5.4 to 1.5.5 CTRL + SPACE autocompletion started to render the SGR escape code of the selected_completion color instead of the color itself.

Example from 1.5.4 after pressing git then CTRL + SPACE:

Example from 1.5.5 after pressing git then CTRL + SPACE:

Pressing the arrow keys moves 0;38;5;16;48;5;254 to the next item. :)

The relevant part of my clink_settings:

# name: Selected completion color
# type: color
color.selected_completion = sgr 38;5;16;48;5;254

@xak2000 Thank you for reporting this. I believe you that it's happening for your.

However, I am unable to reproduce that. I don't think the relevant part is the value of color.selected_completion -- I think it's probably related to one or more other settings or .inputrc variables.

So, I need more information to be able to reproduce the problem, so that I can debug it and fix it.
Can you please share your .inputrc file and the full output from clink set?

I thought maybe it's because colored-stats is off in your config (there are no colors in the completion list), but I still can't reproduce it even when I turn off colored-stats.

UPDATE:

I was able to reproduce it using a fresh profile with no .inputrc file. I'll track down what combination of .inputrc configuration variables is falling into this broken state.

Found it and fixed it. Thanks for reporting it!

Thank you very much!

For the reference, my .inputrc file was almost empty. This is the full file contents:

"\e[B": history-search-forward
"\e[A": history-search-backward

Now I added colored-stats and colored-completion-prefix as well as I think they are good options anyway. Just didn't know they exist.
