Package: bash
Version: 3.1-2
Severity: normal
I just upgraded to this version of bash (I'm sorry I don't know what I
was running before - whatever was in testing a couple of months ago) and
now my PS1 is broken.
My PS1 looks like this:
PS1='$(r=$?; [ 0 == $r ] || echo "\[\033[33m\]$r\[\033[0m\] ")[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:\w\[\033[32m\]\$\[\033[0m\] '
Which looks like this, without the color:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
^
The caret indicates where the cursor lies. Now, after upgrading, the
prompt looks the same but the caret has moved
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
^
or
1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
^
If I remove the escape sequences (which give a little color), it behaves
normally. If I leave the escape sequences but remove the \[\] pairs, the
cursor goes in the right place (but wouldn't that break line wrapping?).
It doesn't matter what terminal emulator I am using (or indeed whether I
ssh in).
Downgrading to version 2.05b-26 restores correct behavior.
