I've seen visual glitches like this for so long, I think they might be more to do with Apple than with GNU-&-company. I've applied all nine official patches thus-far to bash-3.2 and the one official patch to readline-5.2, have pointed their builds to use my build of ncurses-5.5+patches residing in /usr/local, have the latest versions (some from cvs/svn) for almost every other open source project (hundreds) I also put into /usr/local including iconv/intl, gettext, etc. I like to use hilighting for the bash prompt, and put the settings in /etc/bashrc. I was using this one-line PS1 string: PS1='\e[0;7m\h[\w]\u\$\e[0m ' but decided to start using a two-line string: PS1='\e[0;7m\h[\w]\n\u\$\e[0m ' . ^^ so we could see long 'pwd's. ;)
In PS1 we must enclose sequence of non-printing characters within \[ and \], just like this: $ PS1='\[\e[0;7m\]\h[\w]\u\$\[\e[0m\] ' For details you can refer to Bash's man page. _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
