During emerge --sync the line appears: >>> Updating Portage cache: xx% Where xx is some number... The bug is that when one presses space and the xx advance, then a really huge number is made. Looks kinda like this: >>> Updating Portage cache: 12% (hit space, then it updates, we get) >>> Updating Portage cache: 113% (hit space twice) >>> Updating Portage cache: 11314% The code that allows this bug is obvious. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. execute "emerge --sync" 2. wait until ">>> Updating Portage cache:" appears 3. Hit space 4. wait for the percent to update Actual Results: A really huge percent :P Expected Results: The software should have returned the curser to the same position regardless of the number of spaces or any other key pressed and placed a correct number.
Press backspace to return the cursor to the "normal" position. If you want to submit a patch that rewrites that line every time it updates the cache percentage then it might get included; I don't think anyone on the portage team is going to fix such a minor error that by some interpretations isn't even a bug at all.
