Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 12 Release Status: release Description: A detailed report is at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787157. Initially, I thought it was a vte bug, but there it was established it's a problem in bash. The report was made with bash 4.3, but with 4.4, while there's an improvement (no longer breaks line inside utf8 sequence; though during retesting I think I've seen it truncate PS1 in the middle of the finishing escape sequence once, but wasn't looking at that then, so don't recall exact circumstances), the oddities in wrapping / cursor movement remain. Pure ASCII paths seem unaffected. Repeat-By: See the gnome bug.
