i am running Arch Duke. sometimes i have problem with BASH on it. whenever i type something really long it does not go to the end of the screen, instead the cursor just goes off to the beginning of the line e.g.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice_Cooper if i type that line then in 70% of the cases, the line does not go to the end of the terminal, rather when i reach in the middle of the terminal the cursor there slips off to the very-beginning of the terminal - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~$]" - 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $] cp -v songs/rock/Alice_Cooper/* songs/Classic_Rock/Alice_Cooper compare the two commands. 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. what could be the problem... a BASH bug ? -- -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
