Using your example (with bash-3.0-12), I get this output (more colorful of
course):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# echo -n hallo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~#
Which is highly expected by me. However, depending on your shell and said
shell's version and/or configuration, the prompt might overwrite the text,
too.
That is absolutely correct behaviour on the part of the terminal.
And likely correct behaviour on part of your shell, too.
