zsh keeps sharing history even when shared history is disabled

Question

I'm using zsh with prezto (on OSX and inside tmux, not sure if it matters), and from time to time history gets shared between multiple terminals.

I already added unsetopt share_history and also unsetopt SHARE_HISTORY to the end of my .zpreztorc, but it keeps mixing up history.

The output of setopt shows that "sharehistory" is still there! Even after adding unsetopt sharehistory.

The output of `setopt` might help show what options are set, if you don't know how your shell is configured. — thrig, Jul 11 '16 at 15:03
@thrig updated my answer with the output of setopt. "sharehistory" is there o.O — amfcosta, Jul 11 '16 at 17:08
Okay, what does something like `zsh -xic exit 2>&1 | fgrep '> setopt '` show happening (or make your changes *after* prezto does whatever it does). — thrig, Jul 11 '16 at 17:36

Try adding:

setopt no_share_history
unsetopt share_history

to ~/.zshrc ... this should work

Moving them from ~/.zpreztorc to ~/.zshrc fixed it! Thank you. – amfcosta Jul 11 '16 at 18:23
