I do not remember anything about this now, but comparing to my current

That's incorrect.  The \[ and \] are to be used only to delineate
nonprinting sequences.  If you include "\w >" inside them you will
really muck up your prompt if you type a command wider than one screen.

PS1="\[\033[32;47m\]\w >\[\033[0m\]"

Thanks very much this! However I still have problem with long commands. I start Cygwin with

    ****** cygwin.cmd:
   @echo off
   set chere_invoking=1
   D:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i

When the command wraps into the next line then I can not edit the command any more. Is there something I can do about this?

Kind regards,
Lennart
