  • Any other interesting things about your environment that might be related
    to the issue you're seeing?

Bug was introduced with git version 2.32.0.windows.1, up to git version 2.31.0.windows.2 the behavior was as expected.

Details

  • Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

Problem occurs with all of these (started directly as well as started via Windows Terminal):
   - PowerShell 7.1.3
   - PowerShell 7.2.0-preview.7
   - CMD
   - Git Bash

rem my terminal size is 40 rows, 180 columns
> cd c:\git\github\git
> git log --pretty=oneline -30
  • What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

30 lines of git command history should be displayed

  • What actually happened instead?

Output stops in line 22, waiting for user input showing :

The number of shown lines depends on terminal size (and on the history itself (commit comment length?)) but in all cases the output does not match the terminal size.

Interestingly these commands work correct:

> git log --oneline -30
> git log --oneline -n 30
> git log --pretty=oneline -30 --abbrev-commit
> git log --pretty=oneline -n 30 --abbrev-commit

image

Bug was introduced with git 2.32, up to git version 2.31.0 the output was correct.

  • If the problem was occurring with a specific repository, can you provide the
    URL to that repository to help us with testing?

Tested with https://github.com/git-for-windows/git.git, but this is not repository-specific.
