So... for bug 110096, for example, the reporter was using the following prompting string:
PS1='work:\e[0;31m\w\e[m # ' Which falls straight into question E3, and gives out the repositioning issue. By changing the PS1 string to enclose non-printing characters in '\[' and '\]' delimiters, like: PS1='work:\[\e[0;31m\]\w\[\e[m\] # ' the issue is resolved. -- non-ASCII characters in PS1 cause cursor to appear in wrong place https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
