After setting PS1 to the following value and resizing window to 90 or 89 columns, display of then typed characters becomes broken.
PS1=$'fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff \\[\E[0;1;37m\\]\\$\\[\E[0m\\] ' It may or may not need backspace to be typed to be triggered. I can't reproduce it with 5.1.4 and 5.1.16. All tested versions have their bundled readlines compiled with them. -- konsolebox
