The original poster was describing typing "ls /usr/src<TAB><TAB>", at which point the prompt display is botched (in this particular case, it is botched because the display shows '/usr/src/usr/src', although hitting <ENTER> correctly lists /usr/src, as typed). But Chet may have found the root cause his purported patch, http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2006-05/msg00019.html. I just wish it were available to the public, back-ported to 3.1, so that I could confirm that it indeed fixes the bug, rather than waiting for the eventual bash 3.2 to come out. > > Please let me describe the issue for you: > > After set the PS1 in .bashrc to : > > - ---8<--------------------------------------------->8--- > > PS1="\[\e]2;\w -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]@\H hangsps:\j \d > > \t\a\]\[\e[31;1m\][\[\e[36;[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > \[\e[33;1m\]\W\[\e[31;1m\]]\[\e[34;1m\]\[\e[32;1m\]\$ \[\e[37;1m\]" > > - ---8<--------------------------------------------->8--- > > > > If type "ls /usr/src" twice, it will show "ls /usr/src/usr/src". > > -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
