zsh-autocomplete: crash when press arrow up key

To reproduce, first, input something that doesn’t match anything in current folder , say, cd../bash; or cd sdfdsfsf; or nvim ssfs; then press the arrow up key twice, the zsh crashes with the following message printed in the terminal. free(): corrupted unsorted chunks or corrupted double-linked list or malloc(): unaligned tcache chunk detected

Warning: Program '/bin/zsh' crashed.

Normally the color of the text of the command changes and it won’t prompt anything.

I tried this on another machine with the same setup. Konsole won’t crash it is stuck at loading, I have to ctrl+c to stop it.

Environment

A simple solution that works for me. I did comment out lines 61 to 67 in the file Completions/_autocomplete__history_lines

   60 local -P groups="${(l:$(( 2 * $#words[CURRENT] ))::=0:):-}"
   61 # _comp_colors=( # ERROR
   62 # "=(#b)${numpat}${lbuffer}(${query})${rbuffer}${rbuffer:+[[:blank:]]#}=2=2=0=0=30; 103$groups"
   63 # "=(#b)${numpat}${lbuffer}(${query})*=2=2=0=30;103$groups"
   64 # "=(#b)${numpat}${lbuffer}(*)=2=2=0"
   65 # "=(#b)${numpat}*=0=2"
   66 # ${(M)_comp_colors:#ma=*}
   67 # )

anyone know if rolling back to an older version works?

Yes, I rolled back to the previous release (https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete/releases/tag/23.05.24), and I no longer have the issue on both Linux and macOS.

Try to roll-back to 2023-05-24 release for now until it is fixed; I am not finding (for now) that problem in this version. I am concerned that you posted this 8 days ago and nobody even noticed, rolling-back apparently gets rid of this bug.

@joo920131 I see the same issue on my M1 machine with zsh 5.9 😕

I get similar issue like this where it just gets stuck 😭

Thanks @Luk9091 ! I think the history should be disable for now, this is breaking almost all my installation. Both macOS and Ubuntu

Same issue here. On a M2 and it causes a crash, with my CPU usages shooting up to 97% with zsh. The fan even came on!

CarolineMorton on Nov 2, 2023

Got the same issue yeah. I had to disable the plugin as it breaks my shell for now.
