Bash Version: 3.0 Patch Level: 16 Release Status: release Description: An extra character is displayed in the prompt. Tracing the code to see where it went astray, I could see that it appears to assume that the invisible characters are all in one chunk. Using the bundled copy of readline, it is producing incorrect results starting at display.c in this chunk beginning at line 1372: /* If we are changing the number of invisible characters in a line, and the spot of first difference is before the end of the invisible chars, lendiff needs to be adjusted. */ After that, it makes these calls (note that the "c" is passed as part of the invisible-character chunk): _rl_output_some_chars([01;35mc) _rl_output_some_chars(olwyn[00m:~$) _rl_move_cursor_relative(new=22, data=[01;35mcolwyn[00m:~$) Finally, the extra character shows up via putc() called from line 1686. The problem shows up if $TERM is xterm which includes :ei=\E[4l:im=\E[4h: and causes the _rl_move_cursor_relative() call to switch to insert mode when adding the extra character. There is no logic to handle the case where insert-mode is not available - it appears to simply overwrite the cell in that case. Repeat-By: Set TERM=xterm PS1='\[\033[01;35m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\w\$' then "cd ~". Fix: [Description of how to fix the problem.
