yeah - the issue on my system was that I was not using the start-of and end-of
color characters properly - for example:
= ORIGINAL PS1 STRING =
export PS1="[\e[1;36m\w @ \h\e[m] \n[\e[1;35m\t \u\e[m] > "
= NEW PS1 STRING =
export PS1="[\[\033[1;36m\]\w @ \h\[\033[0m]\n\][\[\033[
> This ever get solved? I had the same issue in bash v3.2x and the root cause
> was the formatting.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, nobody was ever able to reproduce it.
