Describe the bug

zsh crashes when completing ffmpeg -i with p10k as the theme

The code that causes the bug:

fzf-tab/fzf-tab.zsh

Line 102 in 78b4cef

COLUMNS=500 _ftb__main_complete "$@"

https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/ce0660b7ba283e3208db28a8763796816a587259/Completion/Unix/Command/_ffmpeg#L109

• Remove COLUMNS=500 can fix this bug
• Set POWERLEVEL9K_PROMPT_CHAR_OVERWRITE_STATE=false can fix this bug
• Replace eval $clocale with exec can fix this bug

I finally came across this after experimenting with my .zshrc to find out what was the culprit.

• Set POWERLEVEL9K_PROMPT_CHAR_OVERWRITE_STATE=false can fix this bug

This one doesn't make any difference for me, zsh still crashes.

• Remove COLUMNS=500 can fix this bug
• Replace eval $clocale with exec can fix this bug

Any of these work.

I recently came across the problem of garbage printout with p10k like romkatv/powerlevel10k#1251. Removing COLUMNS=500 fixed this for me. I wonder if there would be any side effects?

Wouldn't removing that line manually cause problem with updates? Is there a better way to handle this issue perhaps?

[xfzv]

As a workaround, I use <CTRL-T> keybinding from fzf instead of <TAB>.

This happens for me for kinda every completion, even just $HOME> vi .conf<TAB>

Removing COLUMNS=500 also fixed this problem for me

seems to be fixed in zsh 5.9

seems to be fixed in zsh 5.9

Still crashes for me, and removing COLUMNS=500 also still fixes it

Same here, still crashes with 5.9 and this workaround is still valid.

% zsh --version
zsh 5.9 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
