[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#844710: autocorrection suggested rm for typing mr without typing "y"

[Martin Steigerwald]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.2-5+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear maintainer,

# Actual result

Both zsh 5.0.7-5 on Jessie…

ms at intraws:~/Backup/Mail/Linux#1> mr test
zsh: correct 'mr' to 'rm' [nyae]? n
zsh: command not found: mr

as well as 5.2-5+b1

ms at merkaba:~#127> mr test
zsh: correct 'mr' to 'rm' [nyae]? n
zsh: command not found: mr

suggest "rm" for "mr" but on simply typing return they choose "n", which is
a sane default.

Yet, I had this:

ms at intraws:~/Backup/Mail/Linux> mr kernel-ml_archive.gz kernel-ml_archive_2014-1b.gz
zsh: correct 'mr' to 'rm' [nyae]?
rm: das Entfernen von „kernel-ml_archive_2014-1b.gz“ ist nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

I didn´t type yes, as when I type "y", it is shown on command line:

ms at intraws:~/Backup/Mail/Linux#1> LANG=C mr test
zsh: correct 'mr' to 'rm' [nyae]? y
rm: cannot remove 'test': No such file or directory

And I really didn´t type "y" there, I am pretty sure of that, but I may
have hit another key by accident. And lost a (not so important) file, as
it was completed after last snapshot was being taken.

Unfortunately so far I have no idea on how to reproduce this.


# Expected results

1. Never autocorrect until I say "y"!

Ideally also:

2. Do not autocorrect to dangerous commands.


I think this is an upstream issue and would also report it there, if it shelps.

Thanks,
Martin
