Bug ID: 282364
Summary: /bin/sh Adding new lines into PS1 causes visual
glitches
Product: Base System
Version: 14.1-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin

Adding new lines into PS1 causes visual glitches when using /bin/sh.
~/.shrc
```
export PS1='\[\n \] \u \[\n \] # ❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭ '
# csh like history on arrow up and down
bind "^[[A" ed-search-prev-history
bind "^[[B" ed-search-next-history
```
example commands:
type this and enter it into history
```
ls /var/log/
```
Now type ls and hit the up arrow, you will see a large gap between "ls" and
/var/log.
```
root
# ❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭❭ ls /var/log/
```
It seems to me that the text before PS1 new lines are added to the the current
line which gives
a weird gap to the shells prompt output. If you modify the command after its
been inserted the spacing
glitch gets worse and worse and it becomes impossible to see what commands you
are typing.
expected behaviour:
New lines in PS1 should work as csh,bash, zsh and not have weird spacing and
visual glitches.
