powerline9k breaks Ctrl-C

[githorse]

Using this theme breaks Ctrl-C for me. Hitting Ctrl-C in the middle of certain long-running operation now just prints $RPROMPT_PREFIX$(build_right_prompt) to the screen; I have to hit Ctrl-C four or five times to actually quit.

 ~/a/b/c > master > long_running_task
                                                      $RPROMPT_PREFIX$(build_right_prompt)
                                                      $RPROMPT_PREFIX$(build_right_prompt)
                                                      $RPROMPT_PREFIX$(build_right_prompt)
                                                      $RPROMPT_PREFIX$(build_right_prompt)
 ~/a/b/c > master >

This doesn't always happen, but happens frequently on certain commands. Other zsh themes (e.g. agnoster) don't cause this issue (with the same commands). Removing the right prompt (POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=()) does not change the problem.

Ideas?

Hey @githorse - So sorry for the delayed response, here!

YES. I see this too, actually. You actually don't have to hit it multiple times - it worked on the first time. At least for me, you can actually type a new command and execute it, even when that prompt drawing error occurs. Regardless, it's obnoxious and interrupts the flow.

I believe this problem might be related to how long the vcs segment can take to complete. Can you try removing the vcs segment and giving it another go? Do you see the same issue?

@bhilburn For me, removing the vcs fixes the issue.

Okay, I have a suspicion that integrating the work @quicknir did in #732 is going to improve things here. I'll update again once I've pushed / merged changes.

I'm going to close this in favor of #812. Technically, that one is actually the duplicate of this one, but that one has bubbled to the top for whatever reason, hah.

@andreroggeri @githorse - If you wouldn't mind trying the next branch and letting us know if you are still seeing this behavior in #812, that would be SUPER helpful.
