Oho! That would have been a good piece of information to have this morning; sorry I forgot to ask. You were only talking about xterm. I can reproduce it in gnome-terminal. If this is a bug anywhere, it's a bug in gnome-terminal; it needs to either be compatible with xterm, or use a different value for $TERM. The sequence it is choking on is ESC (. This shouldn't be there; tonight's mirror pulse will distribute libncurses5 5.4-6 for your architecture, and after that things should start to work again. However, gnome-terminal may want to investigate the display bug further to improve compatibility with xterm. If you can confirm that the new ncurses library fixes the problem for now, I'll reassign this bug. BTW, the reason you see your prompt twice is probably because you have precmd() and preexec() set to massage the terminal's title bar. ^]]0; to ^G is a title string. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
