Describe the bug

Every time I try to edit a k8s resource in k9s Warp backs out the tab once I quit the editor.

To reproduce

(Please ignore mk9s - it is an alias to k9s)

1. Open k9s

2. Press e to edit the resource

3. Press Esc, :wq

Expected behavior

The resources view should be displayed and I can continue k9s usage

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this an issue only in Warp?

Yes, I confirmed that this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Hi @red-avtovo, sorry about the inconvenience. Do you mind reporting the output of the following commands: alias mk9s and alias k9s?

In the meantime, you should be able to side-step the issue by turning off this setting: https://docs.warp.dev/features/full-screen-apps#how-to-access-it-1

Sure thing!

alias mk9s
mk9s='KUBECONFIG=$HOME/code/kube_config k9s $@'

k9s is not an alias but an app that is installed via homebrew

which k9s
/opt/homebrew/bin/k9s

The mentioned toggle indeed resolved the issue 👍

Ah okay, I think I see the issue. We've actually "denylisted" k9s from having custom padding applied even if that setting is enabled, but looks like we didn't detect k9s here properly because of the env-var. This should be fixed in the next release!
