[Tex/LaTex] Problems with backgroundcolor in listings

listings

I am trying to present some Python-code in LaTeX using listings and \lstinputlisting, but I have some problems with using backgroundcolor in \lstset. I can't really describe it, so I have included a picture:

The gray block comes from backgroundcolor in \lstset. As you can see it doesn't completely cover the code, and there's some extra gray text that says "bbrreeaakklliinneess" in between the lines. The gray text can be highlighted and copied, even if I change the color to white. If I remove backgroundcolor from \lstset the text goes away, but then the background is white. The code I used to define \lstset is as follows:

\definecolor{dkgreen}{rgb}{0,0.6,0}
\definecolor{gray}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5}
\definecolor{mauve}{rgb}{0.58,0,0.82}
\definecolor{mygray}{rgb}{0.9,0.9,0.9}
\definecolor{LightGray}{gray}{0.95}
\lstset{frame=tb,
    language=Python,
    aboveskip=3mm,
    belowskip=3mm,
    showstringspaces=false,
    columns=flexible,
    basicstyle={\small\ttfamily},
    numbers=none,
    numberstyle=\tiny\color{gray},
    keywordstyle=\color{blue},
    commentstyle=\color{dkgreen},
    stringstyle=\color{mauve},
    backgroundcolor=\color{mygray}
    breaklines=true,
    breakatwhitespace=true,
    tabsize=3
}

Is there any way I can fix this?

Just do not use the following three options for \lstset:

%   breaklines=true, % <================================================
%   breakatwhitespace=true, % <=========================================
%   tabsize=3 % <=======================================================

So with the following complete MWE (package filecontents is used to get a compiling MWE with TeX code and python code):

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.py}
import random
n = 20
to_be_guessed = int(n * random.random()) + 1
guess = 0
while guess != to_be_guessed:
    guess = input("Neue Zahl: ")
    if guess > 0:
        if guess > to_be_guessed:
            print "Zahl zu groß"
        elif guess < to_be_guessed:
            print "Zahl zu klein"
    else:
        print "Schade, Sie geben also auf!"
        break
else:
    print "Glückwunsch! Das war's!"
\end{filecontents*}


\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\definecolor{dkgreen}{rgb}{0,0.6,0}
\definecolor{gray}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5}
\definecolor{mauve}{rgb}{0.58,0,0.82}
\definecolor{mygray}{rgb}{0.9,0.9,0.9}
\definecolor{LightGray}{gray}{0.95}
\lstset{%
    frame=tb,
    language=Python,
    aboveskip=3mm,
    belowskip=3mm,
    showstringspaces=false,
    columns=flexible,
    basicstyle={\small\ttfamily},
    numbers=none,
    numberstyle=\tiny\color{gray},
    keywordstyle=\color{blue},
    commentstyle=\color{dkgreen},
    stringstyle=\color{mauve},
    backgroundcolor=\color{mygray}
%   breaklines=true, % <================================================
%   breakatwhitespace=true, % <=========================================
%   tabsize=3 % <=======================================================
}


\begin{document}

Complete listing:
\lstinputlisting{\jobname.py}

[Tex/LaTex] `backgroundcolor` in `lstset` does not work

Amir, it seems as if the old fashioned cp1255/babel are not so robust. Here is an example using xetex. Perhaps you can start from it and work backwards to cp1255 and babel.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{hebrew}
\setmainlanguage{english}

\lstset{language=Matlab,backgroundcolor=\color{blue}}
\setmainfont{Comic Sans MS}

\newfontfamily\hebrewfont[Script=Hebrew]{Ezra SIL}
   \newfontfamily\listingsfont[
            Extension=.otf,
            UprightFont=*-Regular,
            BoldFont=*-Bold,
            ItalicFont=*-Italic,
            BoldItalicFont=*-BoldItalic,
]{UMTypewriter}

\begin{document}

\let\ttfamily=\listingsfont

\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle={\footnotesize\ttfamily}]
>> x(6)
ans =
     9
\end{lstlisting}

\LR{
\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle={\footnotesize\ttfamily}]
>> x(6)
ans =
     9
\end{lstlisting}
}

\lstdefinestyle{numbered}{
    backgroundcolor=\color{blue!20},
    numbers=right,
    stepnumber=1,
    numbersep=-6pt,
    xleftmargin=3ex,
    xrightmargin=3ex,
    numberblanklines=false,
    numberstyle=\tiny\bf,
    frame=trBL,
}
\begin{lstlisting}[style=numbered]
>> x(6)
ans =
     9
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Having problems with listings and UTF-8. Can it be fixed

One way to get around this limitation of listings is to use the option extendedchars=true and then to use the literate option for each accents you're going to be using (it's a bit tedious to do, but once you've done all the accents of your language, you never have to worry about them again). The syntax is

literate={á}{{\'a}}1 {ã}{{\~a}}1 {é}{{\'e}}1

For each accent you must put the real character inside braces (e.g. {á}) then you put what you want this character to be inside double braces (e.g. {{\'a}}) and finally you put the number one (1); between two entries, you can put a space for clarity.

Here's your example modified to use this:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{scrbook}
\KOMAoptions{twoside=false,open=any,chapterprefix=on,parskip=full,fontsize=14pt}

\usepackage[portuguese]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\usepackage{inconsolata}
\lstset{
    language=bash, %% Troque para PHP, C, Java, etc... bash é o padrão
    basicstyle=\ttfamily\small,
    numberstyle=\footnotesize,
    numbers=left,
    backgroundcolor=\color{gray!10},
    frame=single,
    tabsize=2,
    rulecolor=\color{black!30},
    title=\lstname,
    escapeinside={\%*}{*)},
    breaklines=true,
    breakatwhitespace=true,
    framextopmargin=2pt,
    framexbottommargin=2pt,
    inputencoding=utf8,
    extendedchars=true,
    literate={á}{{\'a}}1 {ã}{{\~a}}1 {é}{{\'e}}1,
}

\begin{document}

\begin{lstlisting}
<?php

echo 'Olá mundo!';
print 'áãé';
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}
