Package: bash Version: 4.1-3 Severity: minor There's a long-standing bug which I just recently found a way to reproduce:
run xterm -e /bin/bash bash$ sudo su - bash# sleep 1h then increase the xterm width, then press ^C to get back to the root-owned bash prompt. Try typing text, bash will cut lines at the old xterm width and get cluttered output. When setting the root shell to /bin/zsh, there is no such issue. When not going through sudo, there is no such issue.
