Summary0004100: Opening a file by pressing "enter" is dumping few debug lines destroying UI
DescriptionHello,

e.g. when pressing "enter" on an PDF file to let it opened by associated program (like Edge in my case) following lines will be dumped on screen:

D_Lib: debug printing for files [.*] and level [100] is turned on
D_Lib: debug printing for files [.*] and level [200] is turned on
D_Lib: debug printing for files [.*] and level [300] is turned on
43268:.../engine/vf_shex/vf_shex.cpp(123): INFO: DllCanUnloadNow returned S_OK.
43268:.../Common_CPP/vf_ipc_bridge/vf_ipc_mon_proxy.cpp(45): INFO : Ipcmon initialized

I can't say since when... few weeks maybe. Nothing was changed from my end on Far Manager installation or PlugIns. Maybe I was pressing a hidden key-combination. I don't know. This is anoying.

I was already trying to find something with google, but I failed.

Thx 4 any hints!
Steps To ReproducePressing "enter" on a file associated with a program. Like pdf or 3mf (used for 3D Printing) or docx (Word) or whatever you want...

Please see https://github.com/FarGroup/FarManager/issues/495 for the technical explanation.

"vf_shex/vf_shex.cpp" suggests that it's "CyberArk Viewfinity Shell Extension", whatever that is.

Googling "vf_shex" shows that:
- it is some cyberark stuff indeed
- you're not the only one having this issue
- it has nothing to do with Far and affects any console applications (just as explained above).

File a bug report to them, only they can fix it.
Or perhaps just uninstall and, if you paid for that thing, get a refund.
If they don't even know how to write logs, there are likely much worse bugs lurking around.
