Hi, I noticed there was a new version of readline. Does it fix this issue?

OK, I'm seeing some weird behavior as well; readline-5.1-5, $TERM set to xterm in an rxvt window. This sounds like yet another case of the weird prompt display when you use a one-line prompt with invisible characters, and I have not yet been able to track down what is going wrong in readline. I'll ask upstream to see if Chet has any ideas what is going wrong. > > Is there something wrong in the PS1? And how can I fix this issue? As a workaround, avoid invisible characters (but lose all the cool colors in your prompt), use a prompt that expands to multiple lines (for example, the default prompt in cygwin's /etc/profile). People have also reported that recompiling readline to disable multibyte characters will help, although I am reluctant to do that for the cygwin release because I don't know what else that would impact. Otherwise, I would certainly appreciate help from anyone in debugging the issue. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
