Hi Benno, Here is the output from "locale":
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
The following prompt is set in my .bashrc (but the same behavior happens
if I do not set it or set it to a simple string, so I don't think this
matters):
PS1="\[\033[33m\]\h-\u\[\033[36m\] [\w] (\!)\[\033[00m\] "
PROMPT_COMMAND is not set.
I have attached a script in which I caused the two cases I talked about
in my first mail. I started the script, and then:
1) hit up arrow (to get to previous command, which was "cd")
(cursor now at end, after "cd" - expected)
2) hit right arrow twice
(no visible change - cursor still at end - expected)
3) hit left arrow once
(cursor does not move - strange!)
4) hit left arrow again
(now cursor moves back one - should have moved back at step #3 above)
5) with cursor between "c" and "d" now, hit ctrl-k
("d" disappears - exptected)
6) hit right arrow repeatedly
(cursor moves back and forth (left & right) one char position
- first over "c", then after, then repeating - with each
right arrow hit - strange!)
7) hit down arrows to end of history, then hit ctrl-d to get out
of script
Hope the above is clear and that the script helps.
