esc and sub characters visible

[srvarey]

I am using atom with lisp
and in the repl I always get these characters after executing any form e.g. (+ 2 3)

esc 3 sub esc

"hello world"
esc hello world sub esc

Hiding invisibles does nothing to stop
Would appreciate any help - otherwise back to emacs

I installed
atom-slime
lisp-paredit
language-lisp

I have tried this on 2 windows machines and one linux machine
same problem on all 3

related to #64 ?

It's ok with me, I have Atom 1.18.0 on linux x64, Atom-Slime 2.8.0, language-common-lisp 0.9.5, lisp-paredit 0.6.0. I tried with language-lisp 0.2.

Can you tell your packages versions ?

ps: you also have other lisp editors, namely Lem (very Emacs-like though).

Hi all, thanks for the comments, and apologies on my slow reply (been quite busy).

The root of this problem is the way in which atom-slime handles syntax highlighting. Special (usually invisible) characters are inserted into the REPL, which then trigger Atom's grammar scope highlighting to change their color appropriately. I agree this isn't the best way to do things though, and I believe in a recent release of Atom they've introduced a new text type decoration that would be a better way to handle syntax highlighting in the REPL.

(Interestingly though, my version doesn't show those characters -- wonder why it appears for some but not others)

Fixed by #78!

[BlueManCZ]

Hello, I have a similar problem on Linux. Look at this picture:

System:
Linux 4.19.0-2-amd64 SMP Debian 4.19.16-1 (2019-01-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Versions of packages:
atom 1.35.1 x64
atom-slime 2.8.0
slime 2.23

#Edit
On laptop:

As mentioned in #80, the fix is in master, but @sjlevine hasn't made a new release since this was added to master. You can use the fixed version by using Atom's package development mode and using the master branch
