Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 42 Release Status: release Description: When PS1 includes \w and when \w contains long path including UTF characters, the cursor position or the command line is messed up. Repeat-By: 1. Source the attached script: $ . bash-prompt-bug.sh 2.1. You'll find the prompt is messed up: shorter than the real path name, garbage character at the top. 2.2. If you use the tput commands, which are commented out in bash-prompt-bug.sh, the prompt is fine, but the cursor position is messed up. 3. After 2.2, try to complete filenames by pressing TAB, and sometimes you'll find the cursor position is even more badly messed up. I tested this both on the latest versions of iTerm and Terminal on Mac OS 10.11.1 . Thank you for your attention.
