In my opinion the bug is in your expectations. You are asking the terminal emulator to clear the screen history. It does. This includes the prompt too. It does exactly what you asked. There isn't any surprise. You see the screen and know its state before the action and know whether it is displaying a prompt or whether it is currently running a program. You clear the screen. The screen is cleared. There is no prompt but you should know that in order to get a prompt all you need to do is hit Enter or Control-l and bash will print another prompt which will then be displayed. Or you could type in a command right then regardless. And of course it might be running a program and not at the bash prompt so whatever happens must work reasonably with any program. However you are expecting that after instructing the terminal to clear screen history that bash should emit a new prompt. I think that is an unreasonable expectation. There hasn't ever been a communication interface for doing such a thing. One could be created. But if so then that would be a *new* interface. Bob
