This sounds related to the buggy prompt display code. There is a known issue in readline where some (but not all) prompts cause display problems, because the display engine isn't properly accounting for invisible characters in the string, and I am awaiting a patch from the upstream maintainer. In the meantime, I was unable to reproduce the symptoms; could you please let me know what your $PS1 variable is? - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
