Package: bash Version: 4.1-3 Severity: normal TERM=linux (Default)
LANG and LC_CTYPE mentioned below (en_US.UTF-8) , however this seems irrelevant as I get the same symptom even with LANG=C I use a custom PS1 prompt in .bashrc as, export PS1='\e[1;33;40m\h\e[1;31;40m root\e[1;37;40m@\w\e[1;37;40m\e[m\n## ' this gives me something as .. " debian-miniitx root@~ ## " If I take out the \n from my PS1, ctrl-r in bash is problematic. Scenario i use to test, vi .bashrc, edit PS1, (ctl-z), then I type bash, then ctl-c to see if there's an issue. When trying ctl-c, i would type a few letters to match a history command, then tap the left/right arrow. What I get is display corruption on the prompt line after tapping left/right arrow .. PS1 with \n -> no corruption PS1 without \n -> corruption (not using an ssh session) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 6.0squeeze5 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii dash 0.5.5.1-7.4 POSIX-compliant shell ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages bash recommends: ii bash-completion 1:1.2-3 programmable completion for the ba Versions of packages bash suggests: ii bash-doc 4.1-3 Documentation and examples for the -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
