bug#35180: 27.0.50; emacs daemon and “package” often inserts [I when opening file

[Han Boetes]

I was wondering if this is a bug in emacs, or in gnome-terminal/terminator, since this doesn’t happen with xterm. And do I think this is a bug in emacs because while reading the strace output, the write line which causes the bug:

   “\33[45d\33[K\33[2d\33[?25l[I\33[44;7H\33[30m”

should contain: “\33[I”

where in the output it shows: “[I”

missing the “\33”

Here I grepped for ‘write(8,’ in the strace output. What I did was:

  rm file2 ; pkill emacs ; strace -f -o file2 /usr/local/bin/emacs -Q –daemon

And then from another terminal:

  emacsclient -t ‘.emacs/init.el’

Then: x-c x-k

And after that run

  emacsclient -t ‘.emacs/init.el’ again, knowing this time the buffer would have focus and won’t get the ‘[I’ inserted. I’ve indented the 2 most important lines.
