requires two clicks to select rectangle under particular circumstance

[Jeremy Cantrell]

This is not the real script that I'm using, but it's the only way that I can demonstrate this mysterious behavior.

I have the following in a script (say, test.sh):

#!/usr/bin/env sh

{
    echo 0,22 683x746
    echo 683,22 683x373
    echo 683,395 683x373
} | slurp -r

If you run this script and click a rectangle, it does what you would expect. It prints the selected rectangle.

Now, if this script is run as a subshell by doing something like:

echo $(./test.sh)

You will have to click twice before the rectangle will be printed.

This has worked in the past.

Following your directions as written, I can't reproduce. I wonder if maybe there is something else going on that is resulting in slurp being run twice. What shell are you using? Can you reproduce with a clean shell environment? (for example with the default .bashrc)

You're right. It does have something to do with my shell, but I haven't tracked it down yet. Closing this. Thank you.
