Public bug reported:
An UTF-8 character after an Ascii character is misinterpreted. It's
difficult to explain the trouble so I get some commands to actually see
it. Feel free to improve my description.
This test case work on gnome-terminal and xterm only when it is sized
with 80 characters long.
$ echo $PS1 # Default value
\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$
$ temp_dirname1=/tmp/$(perl -e 'print "a" x '$(echo
"80-(${#USER}+${#HOSTNAME}+4)-4" | bc)',"à","a" x 4,"\n"')
$ temp_dirname2=/tmp/$(perl -e 'print "a" x '$(echo
"80-(${#USER}+${#HOSTNAME}+4)-4" | bc)',"a","a" x 4,"\n"')
$ temp_dirname3=/tmp/$(perl -e 'print "a" x '$(echo
"80-(${#USER}+${#HOSTNAME}+4)-5" | bc)',"àà","a" x 4,"\n"')
$ echo -e $temp_dirname1"\n"$temp_dirname2"\n"$temp_dirname3 # Look at the
actual values for these three variables
$ mkdir $temp_dirname1 $temp_dirname2 $temp_dirname3
$ cd $temp_dirname1 # Wrong display
$ cd $temp_dirname2 # Correct display
$ cd $temp_dirname3 # Neither completely correct display neither wrong display
(there is one space left at the end of the line that doesn't exist)
