2007 i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Machine Type: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
With PS1='\e[32m$\e[m' when typing something at the prompt, then
pressing <Home> the visible cursor is not positioned after the
prompt ($) but behind the 8th typed character, the real cursor
is on the correct position, so when editing visible and real
command lines differ.
Example:
at the given prompt type e.g.: cd /home/apexo/<Home>
result:
$cd /home/apexo/
^ cursor is now here
now typing: echo <Return> yields:
echoes "cd /home/apexo/"
I encountered this problem on the first 3.2 version I tested (which is
quite
some time ago now ... 3.1 doesn't has this bug)
Repeat-By:
PS1='\e[32m$\e[m'
type at least 11 characters
press <Home>
-> cursor is not where it is supposed to be, editing/deleting
characters now messes up the displayed command line (i.e. it
doesn't reflect what's in the buffer)
