Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
Assigning a complicated bash prompt made typing text *much*
slower
Repeat-By:
1. Install the following .bashrc as the user's .bashrc
--8<--
C1="\[\033[1;36m\]"
C2="\[\033[0;39m\]"
C3="\[\033[1;30m\]"
C4="\[\033[0m\]"
case $TERM in
xterm*|rxvt*)
PS1="$C4\[\033];[EMAIL PROTECTED]($C4\w$C3)$C4$C1-> $C4"
PS2="$C3-$C4 "
;;
esac
unset C1 C2 C3 C4
--8<--
2. Run a terminal emulator
3. Middle-click to paste a long text (the URL to this bug for
example)
The following comment shows that this is to work-around
with some broken types of terminal:
/* If this is the first line and there are invisible characters in the
prompt string, and the prompt string has not changed, and the
current
cursor position is before the last invisible character in the
prompt,
and the index of the character to move to is past the end of the
prompt
string, then redraw the entire prompt string. We can only do this
reliably if the terminal supports a `cr' capability.
This is not an efficiency hack -- there is a problem with redrawing
portions of the prompt string if they contain terminal escape
sequences (like drawing the `unbold' sequence without a
corresponding
`bold') that manifests itself on certain terminals. */
