Please do consider that Readline has little knowledge about what has been written to the terminal. That's the terminal's reponsability. What Readline does is to write your prompt, and place the cursor right beside the prompt. In both of your animations, the prompt seems to be rendered fine, I can't really tell because the animation is a bit fast. Does the same problem happen if you use a different shell? (zsh, mksh, dash, ksh93). -- Eduardo Bustamante https://dualbus.me/
