Dear Chet,

Do you mean that commands should output a newline at the end? I don't
have control over what all commands do that I run, and sometimes they
don't end with a newline. It would be nice if I could still read their
last lines, like in bash 5.2.


Specifically, this looks to have been introduced as part of [1], after
which a \r is output while printing the prompt:

That fixed this:

I'll see if there's a way to accommodate both cases. The bottom line is
still that if you start with the cursor in some column other than 0,
you're going to eventually have faulty redisplay due to readline's
assumption that it starts with the cursor in column 0.
