Cannot use zsh-completions with sudo -s session

[ballo]

Hello. I've looked around and haven't found a solution to this problem.

Basically I have a bunch of normal sessions open but also one running sudo -s for doing the occasional command that requires root like renice or ifconfig. The issue is the root session ends up with permissions issues if I hit the up or down key:

(result of typing up then down)

(this is in MacOS Ventura if that matters)

This is the result for compaudit:

compaudit passes without error in the normal non-root sessions.

None of the other zsh plugins appears to have an issue running under sudo. Since the session starts as a regular user zsh already is loaded so I can't think of a work-around like disabling zsh-completions for one session unless I enable root user which I don't want to do.

why have a session in root. That's the reason that sudo was created, and this is a bad practice!

(and also it is o-m-z fault, and not this repo, and also it is already been discussed for infinite amount of times, and IIRC even README have instructions about what to do about that)

I found other problems with zsh-completions like inability to edit the command line like I usually do.

Solution: delete zsh-completions. Problem solved.
