Optional Info

I noticed the issue today

I commented out all the plugins and one by one checked which plugin is causing the issue. When I got to devicons the sequence popped up, so I commented out the plugins again and tried with devicons only. The sequence disappeared.

Than I tried devicons + ... and the winning combination was devicons + vim-airline . So I commented out my settings the sequence is still showing up, even on blank vim buffer. It is always around L38-40. If file is less than 38 lines than nothing happens. Airline settings airline version 0.11

let g:airline_powerline_fonts=1
let g:airline#extensions#ale#enabled=1
let g:airline#extensions#branch#enabled=1
let g:airline_section_c='%{expand("%:~:.")} %{strftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M", getftime(expand("%")))}'
let g:airline_section_x='%y'
let g:airline_section_y='[%{&fileencoding?&fileencoding:&encoding}][%{&fileformat}]'
let g:airline_section_z='%p%% ☰ %l:%c/%L'

DevIcons settings that I normally use

" let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeGlyphDoubleWidth=1
" let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets=1
" let g:WebDevIconsNerdTreeBeforeGlyphPadding=''
" let g:WebDevIconsNerdTreeAfterGlyphPadding=' '
" let g:WebDevIconsNerdTreeGitPluginForceVAlign=0
" let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFolderNodes=1
" let g:DevIconsEnableFoldersOpenClose=1

Is it a duplicate of #266?

[Goku-San]

Hello @kazukazuinaina, yes it could be a duplicate, but this sequence is different than that in #266.When I was googling this problem I did't find anything about it. Anyhow, reading the #266 and the other links in there, I can confirm that set t_RV= makes the sequence disappear. Also they state that it is a workaround.

Also I noticed that if I set background=dark in .vimrc the sequence disappears in empty vim buffer.

If You like you can close this issue and I can move to #266. I hope this gets solved soon. Thanks.

Which terminal do you use on your laptop?

For the benefit of others who might end up here searching on terminal control sequence ^[[?12;4$y:

This may be related to limitations in some terminal applications. I have reproduced in iTerm2 3.4.16 but have not seen the issue in Terminal 2.12.7. iTerm2 reports as VT100 (^[[>0;95;0c) when Vim queries it via ^[[>c; Terminal reports as VT220 (^[[>1;95;0c). Disabling the relevant terminal query (set t_RV=) appears to fix the issue for iTerm2. It also appears to be fixed in the nightly built of iTerm2 (e.g. 3.5.20220924-nightly) which responds to the query with ^[[>41;2500;0, i.e. VT420.
