All,
I had an issue a few months ago, I previously had the issue described
here...
http://www.mail-archive.com/screen-users@gnu.org/msg02218.html
I traced it a bit more, and the multiple-of-8 issue (which I somehow
recall being an issue on other systems) didn't seem to be the case.
What I eventually traced it down to was that I got very very odd behavior
when doing funny shell things, specifically when running commands with
%signs in them, and what it would seem was happening was those % signs
were getting interpolated.
for example, the long command...
ls | grep "^qf" | xargs grep -c theirusername | cut -d : -f 1 | cut -c
3-20 | xargs -I % rm -v df% qf% | more
..really screwed up both cursor positioning and my prompt, and would do
the same thing when I up-arrowed to it in my history.
So, my previous tcsh prompt was:
set prompt="%{\ek%}tcsh [$HOST] %{\e\\%}\%"
Once I switched over to
set prompt="%{\ektsch [$HOST]\e\\%}"\%
(that is, fit the entire prompt within a single escape-sequence bracket,
even though the tcsh [$HOST] part are normal characters)
Everything started behaving.
Many thinks to Trent Buck for the direction. It got me most of the way
there.
