I am running Arch GNU/Linux. sometimes i have problem with BASH on it. whenever i type something a little long it does not go to the end of the terminal, instead the cursor just slips-off to the beginning of the line e.g.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice_Cooper if i type that line then in 90% of the cases, the line does not go to the end of the terminal, rather when i reach in the middle of the terminal the cursor there slips off to the very-beginning of the terminal - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$]" - and starts to overwrite things there. when i hit "Enter" then command runs fine but i can't see what command i typed in because the typing starts from the beginning automatically. e.g. it looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice compare it with the original command i gave: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice_Cooper it is because cursor just slipped-off to the beginning and it overwrote the "[arnuld". this does not happen when my login shell is ZSH (which is what i am using at present). what could be the problem... a BASH bug ?
