I am able to confirm this. Using the above PS1 (the export is optional, as it only has to be a shell variable rather than an environment variable), and the xterm-unicode terminal as compiled for cygwin, along with bash 3.1.17 and release candidate readline 5.2, I get the following behavior when I type <c><d>< ></><c><^L>, where _ is the location of the cursor: $ PS1='[\[\e[32m\]\h\[\e[0m\]:\[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]] \[\]' [LOUNGE:~] cd /c^L [LOUNGE:~] cd /c/c_ Then following it by 6 backspaces (although I only typed five characters), the display is stuck as: [LOUNGE:~] cd_ Here, I then type <c><d>< ></><t><m><p><enter>, and get: [LOUNGE:/tmp] ] _ I'm really at a loss as to how to go about debugging this, and don't know whether the bug is in readline or in cygwin's terminal descriptions. I haven't yet built bash 3.2 for cygwin; is there any chance that bash-3.2 is using some readline hooks that bash 3.1 was not using, such that this problem would go away? This appears to be the same bug that I have been repeatedly reporting: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2006-05/msg00023.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2006-03/msg00005.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2005-07/msg00115.html Any hints on what I should try from within a debugger? - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
