          a bit better screen that may give you some additional hints

Use the following tmux configuration to see if there is any problem with my verification.

cat ~/.tmux.conf 

set-option -g default-command "env -u __VFOX_CURTMPPATH -u __VFOX_PID -u __VFOX_SHELL fish"

this config/option did the trick @jan-bar

@ZuBB I'm glad to solve this problem. The reason for the problem is that tmux will inherit environment variables when creating a new terminal, and the __VFOX_XXX environment variables have special uses.

[ZuBB]

So is there a fix for this issue on your side, or I have to tweak config of tmux?

[jan-bar]

I don’t have a good solution, and many people are troubled by this feature of tmux, which can be avoided by modifying the tmux configuration, so I don’t think it’s necessary to fix it.

[ZuBB]

Then maybe adding a note to the docs would be nice?

[jan-bar]

Yes, you can submit a PR. I haven't submitted a PR related to documentation yet. 😄
