Troubleshooting
---------------
- **I'm running tmux `HEAD` and things don't work properly. What should I do?**
- **I believe something's not quite right**
Please open an issue describing what doesn't work with upcoming tmux. I'll do
my best to address it.
Please, try make sure no tmux client or server process is currently running.
- **Status line is broken and/or gets duplicated at the bottom of the screen.
What gives?**
Then launch tmux with:
```
$ tmux -f /dev/null -L test
```
This particularly happens on Linux when the distribution provides a version
of glib that received Unicode 9.0 upgrades (glib `>= 2.50.1`) while providing
a version of glibc that didn't (glibc `< 2.26`). You may also configure
Which launches a new tmux client/server pair without loading any
configuration.
If the issue is still reproducing, please reach out to the tmux project for
support.
Otherwise, please open an issue describing what doesn't work and I'll do my
best to address it.
- **I tried to used `set`, `bind` and `unbind` in my `.local` customization
file, but Oh my tmux! overwrites my preferences**
When that happens append `#!important` to the line:
```
bind c new-window -c '#{pane_current_path}' #!important
```
```
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color" #!important
```
- **Status line is broken and/or gets duplicated at the bottom of the screen**
This could happen on Linux when the distribution provides a version of glib
that received Unicode 9.0 upgrades (glib `>= 2.50.1`) while providing a
version of glibc that didn't (glibc `< 2.26`). You may also configure
`LC_CTYPE` to use an `UTF-8` locale. Typically VTE based terminal emulators
rely on glib's `g_unichar_iswide()` function while tmux relies on glibc's
`wcwidth()` function. When these two functions disagree, display gets messed

- **I installed Powerline and/or (patched) fonts but I can't see the Powerline
symbols**
First, you don't need to install Powerline. You only need fonts patched with
Powerline symbols or the standalone `PowerlineSymbols.otf` font. Then make
sure your `.local` customization file copy uses the Powerline code points for
`tmux_conf_theme_left_separator_XXX` values.
**🤯 Please realize that you don't need to install [Powerline].**
- **I'm using Bash On Windows (WSL), colors and the Powerline look are broken.**
You only need fonts patched with Powerline symbols or the standalone
`PowerlineSymbols.otf` font.
There is currently a [bug][1681] in the new console powering Bash On Windows
preventing text attributes (bold, underscore, ...) to combine properly with
colors. The workaround is to search your `.local` customization file copy and
replace attributes with `'none'`.
Then make sure your `.local` customization file copy uses the [Powerline
code points] for the
`tmux_conf_theme_left_separator_main`,
`tmux_conf_theme_left_separator_sub`,
`tmux_conf_theme_right_separator_main`
and `tmux_conf_theme_right_separator_sub` variables.
Also, until Window's console replaces its GDI based render with a DirectWrite
one, Powerline symbols will be broken.
The alternative is to use the [Mintty terminal for WSL][wsltty].

The "Maximize any pane to a new window with `<prefix> +`" feature is different
from the builtin `resize-pane -Z` command, as it allows you to further split a maximized
pane. It's also more flexible by allowing you to maximize a pane to a new
window, then change window, then go back and the pane is still in maximized
state in its own window. You can then minimize a pane by using `<prefix> +`
either from the source window or the maximized window.

### Enabling the Powerline look
Powerline originated as a status-line plugin for Vim. Its popular eye-catching
look is based on the use of special symbols: <img width="80" alt="Powerline Symbols" style="vertical-align: middle;" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/553208/10687156/1b76dda6-796b-11e5-83a1-1634337c4571.png" />

To make use of these symbols, there are several options:
- use a font that already bundles those: this is e.g. the case of the

- use a [pre-patched font][powerline patched fonts]

It is possible to use this configuration under Cygwin within Mintty, however
support for Unicode symbols and emojis lacks behind Mac and Linux.
Particularly, Mintty's text rendering is implemented with GDI which has
limitations:
- color emojis are only available through DirectWrite starting with Windows 8.1
- display of double width symbols, like the battery discharging symbol indicator
(U+1F50B) is buggy
To get Unicode symbols displayed properly, you have to use [font linking].
Open `regedit.exe` then navigate to the registry key at
`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink`
and add a new entry for you preferred font to link it with the Segoe UI Symbol
font.
