Update: I just tested it and fish 2.2 works great out of the box.

I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but I believe fish 2.2 will allow the baking to finish. Fish cleverly parses the prompt to figure out how long it is (vs bash which requires you to wrap nonprinting sequences in \[ and \]). Unfortunately fish's support for OSC codes was incomplete. This was a problem because shell integration uses them to report the current directory, hostname, prompt location, etc., so fish would wrap at the wrong location. I submitted a patch a while back, but I can't very well ask people to run a hacked version of their shell. So until a few days ago it was half baked. Now it's like 90% baked :)



Cool, thanks for the update :)
