Package: bash Version: 3.1dfsg-9 Severity: normal
I have quite a few Japanese language directory hierarchies on my computers. bash works well enough with them, only it gets confused if there are (many?) Japanese characters in the path of the current working directory - then the prompt tents to get corrupted. Effect 1: the start of the CWD path is truncated and the first character rendered is a light gray square. This is usually a sign of an UTF-8 sequence truncated mid-character. As a side effect bash will beep every time the prompt is displayed. Effect 2: The last component of the path is replicated BEFORE the [EMAIL PROTECTED] part, rest of the prompt normal. I'd say the prompt or prompt handling isn't UTF-8 / multi-byte character clean.
