Package: bash Version: 3.2-4 Severity: normal
Hello I tried looking through the other prompt issues but this seems different from the other stuff reported already. The issue is that bash seems to count the number of bytes in the prompt rather than the number of character positions. To reproduce: 1) set up a color propmpt, verify that it's \[ \]d properly and works as expected with multiline commands 2) cd /tmp ; mkdir dÃrectory ; cd dÃrectory 3) type a command that wraps to the next line, use arrows keys to sift through command history. While the command is displayed correctly initially when it is redisplayed it is shifted backwards eating a character from the prompt. I use a custom prompt so if you have issues reproducing with some stock color prompt I can post mine but I don't think this is specific to this particular one. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable'), (295, 'experimental'), (290, 'stable-i386'), (280, 'testing-i386'), (270, 'unstable-i386'), (150, 'experimental-i386'), (70, 'oldstable-i386'), (70, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-rc4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 5lenny5 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages bash recommends: pn bash-completion <none> (no description available) Versions of packages bash suggests: ii bash-doc 3.2-4 Documentation and examples for the -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
