Joe, Long command lines shift left instead of wrapping (as they did before). I read the readline man page this morning and learned that I need horizontal-scroll-mode set to Off in ~/.inputrc. I had it incorrectly set to On, but changing it to Off makes no difference (after logging out and back in). Yes, it seems to be a readline or bash issue, but I don't know enough of either to know where to look.
