Uhmm, I am not sure how to interpret these results (All shells or terminals have been tested with Ubuntu 17.04):
gnome-terminal + bash: Happens gnome-terminal + zsh: This bug also happens here, lines are getting removed/repeated... gnome-terminal + dash: Does not happen. (I changed the PS1="username@hostname $" to make it longer) gnome-terminal + mksh: The bug also occured here. Same as bash and zsh. konsole + bash: Doesn't happen here. I guess this is because konsole doesn't do text wrapping (The prompt wraps though but not the output alone.)
