Hi,
I have the following prompt in bash (Gentoo style):
PS1='\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[01;34m\]\w $ \[\033[00m\]'
When I press <TAB> to get the list of possible completion on the command
line, I have some extra characters added to the display:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd /c/<tab>
Documents and Settings/ RECYCLER/ cygwin/
tmp/ System Volume Information/ Program Files/
WINDOWS/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd /c//
or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd t<tab>
test/ tmp/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cd t t
If I remove the last escape sequence, the first example works fine but
the second displays "tt".
If I remove the last two escape sequences, both work fine.
The default cygwin prompt works fine but if I remove the "\n" before the
"$" sign, I get similar issues.
I think I saw a mention of a bash 3.0 bug like this more than a year ago
but I can't google it anymore.
Also this prompt works fine in Gentoo (bash 3.1.16(1)) and in Fedora
Core 4 (bash 3.00.16(1)) so it would point to a bug in cygwin (or Fedora
and Gentoo have a patch to fix it).
Any suggestion?
