Bash Version: 3.0 Patch Level: 16 Release Status: release Description: After hitting TAB twice for a list of possible candidates for filenames, the command line following the list has too many characters on it. It may be that the shell is not properly accounting for escape code in the prompt. This problem does not occur with command name completion. Here is a sample: 123 scripts > ls CVS/ - Hit TAB twice Entries Repository Root 123 scripts > ls CVS/ CVS/ Using the backspace key to try to erase the entire command, leaves: 123 scripts > ls CV Another sample: 127 scripts > ls /usr/bin/zip zip.exe zipgrep zipnote.exe zipcloak.exe zipinfo zipsplit.exe 127 scripts > ls /usr/bin/zipn/zip Backspacing to erase the command leaves behind: 127 scripts > ls /u My prompt is defined as: PS1='\[\e]2;\w\007\]\[\e[1;31m\]\# \[\e[32m\]\W \[\e[36m\]> \[\e[0m\]' As an example of command name completion (which doesn't show this problem): 126 scripts > ln - Hit TAB twice ln.exe lnkstub.exe 126 scripts > ln Backspacing to erase the command leave just the prompt (as it should). Repeat-By: Set prompt to: PS1='\[\e]2;\w\007\]\[\e[1;31m\]\# \[\e[32m\]\W \[\e[36m\]> \[\e[0m\]' Test filename completion with: ls /usr/bin/zip<TAB><TAB> Observe extra chars added to command line. Backspace to erase the command line. Observes that extra characters remain after the prompt. Fix: (I have no fix to offer.) _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
