bash (but not dash or csh as far as I recall) contains code which is supposed to count the length of the prompt, for positioning the cursor. The code in bash has been the subject of occasional bug reports for some time. > The bug does not show when running in a tty, so it *is* X-related. > > ** Also affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) > Importance: Undecided > Status: New gnome-terminal, konsole and xterm all are independent - it's likely that there is a common cause for this issue which is unrelated to any of these. You may get some insight on the problem by using "script" to capture the output of the shell (to see which characters are sent to the terminal). That may be different between the Linux console and the X applications. > > ** Also affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) > Importance: Undecided > Status: New > > -- > xterm wrongly handles Unicode on the prompt when printing text > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/526893 > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to xterm > in ubuntu. > -- Thomas E.
