Hello, I use terminal window/bash quite a bit, and have a quirky behavior on Debian, at least not on Mac OS terminal window. I think it's just a default issue, that can be altered -- as I had the exact same problem years ago -- that I was able to resolve, which I again turns up. I forgot the solution, since it was so simple.
The question is hard for me to formulate, so I will just describe everything, and maybe someone can help? What happens: I use terminal (in a game or even with ping for simplicity): I can type into the terminal. I can backspace - as expected. However, if i receive new data - my typed text is still in the buffer, but is not "echo'd" to a new line. This is more or less OK, UNLESS I need to backspace and clear some text. I just can't tell how far I have backspaced, since the line is not echoed. Maybe best description is: I am tying this senten <receive new input here from the terminal> ce, and it's fine...but i <receive new input> I backspace now, as I want to replace the above line "and it's fine" and what comes after it to change it to "it's not fine" So, best description is, if i backspace upon receiving new data, I cannot see the line that I was typing. Any Bash experts able to lend a hand? Last time I had this issue, I remember I had to go into .bashrc and add/change something. I just don't know what it was. Thanks.
