I don't understand the problem specification. I tried duplicating the problem in 4 different terms: SecureCRT->a linux box, then in three cygwin variations: the Win-cmd style "terminal", rxvt (non-X version), and rxvt (X-version). They all appeared to look the same.
What is meant by typing "ls /usr/src" twice? > "ls /usr/src; ls /usr/src" ? or typing in "ls /usr/src" at two different prompts, one after the other? All I see is the colored prompt: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <dir>]$ where dir=the last dir component (or "~" for home). Eric Blake wrote:
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). - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: tail after tab completion in prompt Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 14:06:46 +0800 From: William Xue <william.xue AT gmail DOT com> To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Hi, Please let me describe the issue for you: After set the PS1 in .bashrc to : - ---8<--------------------------------------------->8--- PS1="\[\e]2;\w -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]@\H hangsps:\j \d \t\a\]\[\e[31;1m\][\[\e[36;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\e[33;1m\]\W\[\e[31;1m\]]\[\e[34;1m\]\[\e[32;1m\]\$ \[\e[37;1m\]" - ---8<--------------------------------------------->8--- If type "ls /usr/src" twice, it will show "ls /usr/src/usr/src". Is there something wrong in the PS1? And how can I fix this issue?
