bat (original) (raw)

Describe the bug you encountered:

bat consumes 100% of one cpu and gives choppy output (~3 lines per second on my box) for a specific Python sample. Shell reproducer:

{ echo "foo={"; for i in {1..100}; do echo " #'a': '$i',"; done; } | bat --language python

This is sensitive to amount of whitespace within the echo. Adding or removing some might speed it up some, but is still choppy with some other amounts.

What did you expect to happen instead?

Normal smooth output.
