Most likely there's a problem with your PS1 string. It appears you're altering the color within the prompt, and any portions of the prompt string that do not yield visible characters must be surrounded with \[ (two characters, escape as necessary) and \]. Otherwise the cursor positioning code used when you, say back up the cursor, erase parts of the line or wrap at the right margin, have the wrong value for the cursor's position following the prompt and subsequently send incorrect positioning commands.
