I had the same problem using the prompt I found at first, I think it is the
same you are using. It seems there is a problem in closing the ANSI code string.
Someone else gave me this:
PS1='\[\e[0;31m\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\h:\w\$\[\e[m\] '
This does not have the problem, I have been using this now for over a year, no
problems at all.
