Bash Version: 4.1
Patch Level: 5
Release Status: release
Description:
It is possible to make input with the keyboard before bash is fully
initialized. This problem is critical on password inputs like the linux login.
Repeat-By:
$input is now shown before and after sworddra...@ubuntu:~$. Example:
testsworddra...@ubuntu:~$ test
Fix:
I think bash should lock all input until it is fully initialized and
maybe draw all locked input after unlocking.
