Numerous identical variables in Customize options

[eggbean]

When I <prefix>-C for Customize Options I have multiple instances of a particular variable I use for styling tmux under Session Options.

(0)   + Server Options

(1)   - Session Options

(2)   ├─>   @active: colour27

(3)   ├─>   @active: colour27

(4)   ├─>   @active: colour27

(5)   ├─>   @active: colour27

(6)   ├─>   @active: colour27

(7)   ├─>   @active: colour27

(8)   ├─>   @active: colour27

(9)   ├─>   @active: colour27

(M-a) ├─>   @active: colour27

(M-b) ├─>   @active: colour27

(M-c) ├─>   @active: colour27

...

It appears 40 times. But if I use the command `tmux show-options -g` the same variable only appears once. Why is this happening? It has been like this for a long time, but I have never been able to figure out why.

These are the lines in my configuration that use this variable:

set -g @active colour27'

set -g status-style "#{?#{==:#{@statusline},off},bg=#{@inactive},bg=#{@active}},fg=#{@black}"

set -g window-status-style "#{?#{==:#{@statusline},off},bg=#{@inactive},bg=#{@active}#,#{?window_zoomed_flag,bg=#{@zoomed},}},fg=#{@black}"

set -g window-status-current-style "fg=#{@white},bg=#{@active},#{?window_zoomed_flag,bg=#{@zoomed},}"

Well I have asked someone on the IRC channel and they see the same problem, so it seems to be a probable bug in tmux.

How are you setting this option?

Is it an option? It just appears as a variable, usually around 40 times. All the lines in my config that use this variable are shown above.

How are you settling the @active option?

The only lines in the configuration that mention @active are already mentioned:

set -g @active colour27'

set -g status-style "#{?#{==:#{@statusline},off},bg=#{@inactive},bg=#{@active}},fg=#{@black}"

set -g window-status-style "#{?#{==:#{@statusline},off},bg=#{@inactive},bg=#{@active}#,#{?window_zoomed_flag,bg=#{@zoomed},}},fg=#{@black}"

set -g window-status-current-style "fg=#{@white},bg=#{@active},#{?window_zoomed_flag,bg=#{@zoomed},}"

I am not the only person who sees this problem and the other guy uses a completely different configuration.

I have made this change, can you either apply it yourself or wait until
it reaches GitHub (should be a few hours) and then see if the problem
still occurs?
