i have an install of a recent version of readline (5.2.007) / bash (3.2.25) which is causing problems with horizontal scrolling positioning because of escape sequences in my PS1 prompt.
i have read the faq, but the fix suggested does not work for me. here is my PS1 prompt: PS1="\n\e[39m\u\e[00m \e[00;34m[\w]\e[00m " according to the faq this should be encoded as: PS1="[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\e[00;34m\][\w]\[\e[00m\] " however this does not work either, with horizontal-scroll-mode on or off - positioning is still screwed up. also note that the first prompt works perfectly well with readline 4.2a / bash 2.05a, but *the second one does not*. any suggestions? -- dog
