-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Here is another case of a complaint about prompt display bugs when the prompt occupies a single line and contains invisible characters. I was able to repeat the original poster's display bugs on cygwin when using rxvt, bash 3.1.14, readline 5.1 compiled with multibyte support using the ncurses 5.5 library. I had to undo the line wraps from the PS1 in the OP's email (use space instead of newline).

Is there something wrong in the PS1? And how can I fix this issue? Advance Thanks! - -- William - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
