It sounds like readline is getting an incorrect value for > the terminal autowrap capability.
so there's no confusion, here's a screen shot of Eterm: http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/bash-no-wrap.png i have ncurses-5.5 / readline-5.1 installed on both my Gentoo/Debian machines ... i normally use Eterm, but i tried xterm, gnome-terminal, aterm, rxvt, screen, and the linux console and got the same incorrect results ... fired up OS X (10.3.9) with Terminal and when i ssh into either my Gentoo or Debian box it fails to wrap properly ... i talked to a friend who uses Fedora Rawhide and has bash-3.1(patch5), readline-5.5-10, and ncurses-5.0-3.1 and he was able to reproduce the bad behavior (he uses gnome-terminal) ... not quite sure where to take this next as ive never poked around readline or bash before and terminals scare me :) -mike _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
