Pasting *,.* in zsh results in **

whoops · 2012-12-19 21:58:53

As part of a regular expression that I have in my clipboard, I have:

*,.*

If I paste it into a terminal¹ window, I get...

**

...instead. Switching to bash in the same terminal window and pressing ctrl+v again results in the "*,.*" being pasted correctly.

Any hints on WHY it's doing that and how I can get rid of such behaviour?

I'm using the grml config from the repos... couldn't find anything that could be causing this.

I use rxvt-unicode with zsh, and pasting that works ok.

What terminal emulator you use? can you try on another one?

EDIT: Tried on lilyterm too. It also works fine

Ok, that sounded confusing: I pasted it into a "terminal" (=xfce) window.
It works with bash though... and I have the same problem when I paste in lxterminal. So I guess it must be something in the grml config, but I can't figure out what...?

My zshrc is empty.

edit:
Problem disappears if I remove grml's zshrc from /etc/zsh
But then again: Almost everything disappears if I remove that.

It is something in your grml config, but I don't know what (or why). It happens to me too, pasting or typing that sequence in rxvt-unicode with zsh and the grml config. You could always ask on their irc channel: http://grml.org/contact/
