Machine Type: i386-apple-darwin9.2.2
Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 33
Release Status: release
Description:
When your prompt includes invisible characters, going through history
entries leaves the shell confused. The cursor gets misplaced, junk is
left on the screen and it also seems to affect line wrapping for really
long lines or short screen widths.
Repeat-By:
# Start with PS1='$ ', with no invisible characters
# and define one that does have
$ PS1='\e[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \W]$i\[\e[m\]'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]
# Type lots of characters
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
# Press Up to go through history
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]aaaaaaaaPS1='\e[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \W]$i\[\e[m\]'
# Magic! :-)
Fix:
I didn't look at the code, but this seems related to the issues in
patches bash32-17 and bash32-27.
