[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#767005: zsh: with compinit, Ctrl-\ (QUIT character) while completions are listed makes zsh quit

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.0.7-3
Severity: important
Forwarded: http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2014/msg01336.html

With compinit, Ctrl-\ (QUIT character) while completions are listed
makes zsh quit. So, temporary data from the zsh session are lost.

To reproduce with "zsh -f":

$ autoload -U compinit
$ compinit
$ ls /path/to/dir/[TAB]
zsh: do you wish to see all X possibilities (Y lines)?

where X and Y are large enough so that one can type 'y' and Ctrl-\
while not all the completions are listed.

Upstream's zsh 5.0.5 doesn't seem to have this problem.
