Smear goes to top-left corner when saving files

[craftgear]

Hi, I noticed flashing moves on saving files which you can see in the following clip.

smear-cursor.mov

I expected the newly added flag disable smear to cmd line might get rid of this behavior but no luck.

Does anyone know how to prevent this?

Environment (optional)

• OS: macOS Sonoma 14.7
• Terminal: iTerm2 build 3.5.2
• Neovim version:
  • NVIM v0.10.0
  • Build type: Release
  • LuaJIT 2.1.1713484068
• Smear-cursor version/commit: 051fe67

Hi, could you try on Neovim v0.10.2 (at least)? The get cursor position functions may have changed

Hi, thank you for such a quick response.

I updated neovim v0.10.3 but it doesn't change anything.

Do tell me if you need me to try to do anything else.

Oh one more thing I noticed is after :w (with the flashing move) when you move cursor up or down, you see another flashing move from top-left to current cursor position.

Hmm, the same issue with nightly. I remember that neovide had the same issue before (and I don't know whether exists the latest version have)

@tan-wei In which environment do you observe this behavior? I wonder if the issue is linked to iTerm2. I also noticed that in OP's video, the :w takes some time, so that could be another reason

For me, I use neovim in MacOS and archlinux with nightly neovim (now: NVIM v0.11.0-dev-1466+g7ddadd0fee
). They both meet the same issue. And your notice may be a reason, for me, :w will do code formatting, and it takes several milliseconds.

@craftgear @tan-wei Could you test revision 7e23d64 and see if it solves the issue?

[tan-wei]

I've tries the branch "fix-jump-cmd", still the same.
What about @craftgear ?

I tried setting pauses on BufWritePre and BufWritePost events to try and reproduce the issue but did not manage. What config do you have that makes :w take time?
