Mangled output when starting rat
Hi.
When I run rat with the "files" mode as described in the README, I get crappy output, and the UI is irresponsive. Ctrl-C doesn't work.
I've tried with:
- several console apps (konsole, yakuake, terminator)
- several shells (fish, bash)
- several rat modes (git and files)
... with similar results.
Below is an example with the following scenario:
- konsole
- bash
-
rat --mode files --cmd 'ls -al'

What locale is your OS using?
patricel@plamobile ~> localectl
System Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
VC Keymap: fr-latin1
X11 Layout: fr
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Variant: oss
patricel@plamobile ~>
By the way, I'm on Archlinux x86_64.
I tried the following command, with same results:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rat --mode files --cmd 'ls -al'
I'll post back when I get a chance to try changing the system locale.
By the way, I mentioned Ctrl-C does not work for me, however hitting the "q" key exits properly.
