When emacs frozen, I restart it and I see that 84;0;0c may end up writting into very first line of the latest open file.

The way I start emacs daemon: emacsclient -c -qut file.txt 2>/dev/null. While this process is on-going when I type enter or some characters they show up on the opened file.

$ cat file.txt
MY_FILE_STARTS
$ kill -9 $(ps auxww | grep -E "[e]macsclient"  | awk '{print $2}')
$ emacsclient -qut file.txt 2>/dev/null
alper
alper
alper

Than opened file shown as follows:

lper
alper
alper


84;0;0cMY_FILE_STARTS

Simple solution would be not to enter any keys while emacs daemon is starting but accidently I may end up typing enter once in a while.

What does 84;0;0c stands for and is it possible to prevent writing those characters when emacs is unresponsive?

    Have you tried to interrupt Emacs from some shell command line via pkill -SIGUSR2 emacs? That should start the debugger. It may be necessary to call pkill -SIGUSR2 emacs multiple times.

  • Yes but when emacs freeze and when I try to exit from the daemon or press some keys they written into buffer and shows up after the emacs starts working

  • @Tobias I figure out the reason for this. I was starting emacs daemon as follows: emacsclient -qut 2>/dev/null after this when I press any key like enter that writting into 1st line of the open file followed by 84;0;0c

  • This is probably not an Emacs problem. What terminal emulator are you using? Do you get the same results if you use xterm instead?

I found the solution in 0;95;0c escape code is inserted with typeahead in terminal emacs and Everytime I open emacs with -nw my file is prepended with 0;276;0c. My screen realestate is also being cut in half.

My problem was:

This is more likely to happen if you are using Emacs over a slow connection, and begin typing before Emacs is ready to respond.

Solution:

Customizing xterm-extra-capabilities and setting the capabilities manually makes the problem go away. But if I set it to nil the bug goes away.

I had to add: (setq xterm-extra-capabilities nil) into my init file to fix this problem.
