Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release
Description:
There are some cursor positioning errors that I occasionally
run into, particularly when using reverse-isearch. While
trying to reproduce it, I noticed that this seems dependent
on the locale, at least.
Repeat-By:
Make sure you have en_US and en_US.UTF-8 locales generated.
$ env -i LC_CTYPE=en_US PS1='\[\e[0m\]12345' INPUTRC=/dev/null bash
--norc --noprofile
Note that the cursor appears at the end of the prompt, after
the "5", as expected.
$ env -i LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 PS1='\[\e[0m\]12345' INPUTRC=/dev/null
bash --norc --noprofile
Now the cursor appears in the middle of the prompt, after the
"1".
