Package: bash
Version: 4.0-4
Severity: normal
To reproduce, enable the color prompt (by just decommenting
"force_color_prompt=yes" in the boilerplate .bashrc). Then, open a new terminal
and:
cd
mkdir ànn
cd ànn
mkdir nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
the number of "n" depends on the lenght of your standard prompt, and must be
such that you fill the line and have exactly 6 "n" in the following one.
what happens:
the characters indicating the "back to normal black" are not interpreted: they
are instead output as part of the prompt, and all the following characters,
including "$" and the commands written after, are blue.
The above happens to me on an up-to-date unstable. For your information, on an
Ubuntu Jaunty things are even worse, because the entire prompt is rewritten
_after_ each prompt (in other terms, the space where I should write commands is
already filled by a copy of the above prompt, which gets overridden as in
"insert mode" if I type something); but I ignore if it's by chance (different
theme/fonts) or because of modifications to the package.
