Package: bash
Severity: wishlist

Sometimes applications go nuts and leave the terminal with echo
disabled, which is quite annoying. If you arrange for PROMPT_COMMAND
to run 'stty echo' then this is cleared before the prompt returns
(apparently tcsh and some other shells do this by default).

This would be nice to include in the default /etc/skel/.bashrc. Adding
a line like this (below the existing xterm PROMPT_COMMAND magic)
should do the trick:

PROMPT_COMMAND="stty echo; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
