Possible off-by-one in baraction output when used in a "section"

[Lévai Dániel]

When I put my +A output in bar_format after a +| section, the last character gets chipped off.
E.g.:
bar_format = +A
vs.
bar_format = +|3L+A

When using the latter, the last character from the external script's output is missing.
Version is latest commit on master.

Tried the following on df5f576 and was unable to reproduce the issue you describe ("test" is printed in full):
spectrwm.conf:

bar_action              = ~/bin/baraction_debug.sh
bar_format             = +|3L+A

baraction_debug.sh:

#!/bin/sh
while :; do
    echo "test"
    sleep 5
done

It seems there is something more needed to reproduce the issue e.g. font, specific script output, etc.

Ah yes, I was afraid it might come down to something like this.

Here's my bar_* config:

bar_enabled             = 1
bar_font                = xos4 Terminus:pixelsize=14,xos4 Terminus:pixelsize=20:bold,Ubuntu Mono:pixelsize=16
bar_font_color          = rgb:999/999/999,rgb:000/000/000
bar_font_color_unfocus  = rgb:999/999/999,rgb:999/999/999
bar_color               = rgb:000/000/000,rgb:999/999/999
bar_color_unfocus       = rgb:000/000/000,rgb:000/000/000
bar_action              = ~/bin/spectrwm_baraction.sh

bar_format = +V +N:+I+S{+M} *+U*+4<%Y.%m.%d[%V] %a+2<%Z%z %T+10<+@fn=1;+@bg=1;+@fg=1;hostname+@stp;+|L+A+|T+F+W|+C:+T

And I've simplified my baraction script; this is the kind of output I'm getting from the various functions inside:

#!/bin/sh
while :; do
        echo '0+ U03 S04 N00 I00 92 Z1842 C44/41/27/54 M3 XXXXXXX|60 MLow Kok  {Eng}[Num]'
        sleep 5
done

With this, the last ] character is missing. If I remove the +|L from before +A in bar_format, then - it's color is messed up 😃 , but - it's there.

Another weird thing that's possibly related, is that if I have only this in my baraction script:

while sleep 1;do
        echo 'abc+def'
done

... the output varies between abc++de and abc+def, depending on what bar_action_expand is set to - 0 and 1, respectively. And according to spectrwm(1) its default is 0.
