Package: libreadline5
Version: 5.1-1
Severity: normal
This version breaks the %[ and %] characters for psql (from the
postgresql-client-8.1 package) prompts, which are equivalent to \[ and
\] in bash, allowing terminal control characters to be included without
messing up readline's idea of the prompt length.
My ~/.psqlrc includes:
\set PROMPT1 '%[%033[0;35m%]%/@%m%R%#%[%033[0;22m%] '
This worked fine with libreadline5 5.0-11, but with the latest version
the cursor ends up ~13 characters before the end of the prompt. Some
examples of where the cursor ends up:

If I remove the control codes that reset the color (between the second
%[ %] pair), the cursor is placed closer to the end of the prompt, but
still over the prompt.
