Using “unset PROMPT_COMMAND” had no effect at all (and seems to be empty
for me, anyway?). This is pretty much a fresh install, so I’m using
Ubuntu’s default value of PS1:
$ echo "'$PS1'"
'\[\e]0;\u@\h:
\w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$
'
However, when I change that to
PS1='\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
there seems to be no more crashing. So it seems that certain values of
PS1 do indeed trigger this bug.
I have also tried the bash development version, as suggested. Even with
the default value of PS1, I haven’t been able to cause a crash there.
However, this version goes REALLY crazy with the input prompt (junk
characters, erratically printing parts of the history or working
directory path to the terminal when pressing the arrow keys, invisible
text input etc.) for long working directory paths (with or without
Unicode characters), making input all but impossible. So whatever the
difference between the two versions is, it’s not an improvement.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the help so far. Since I’m not seeing the crash in the
newer version, I’m assuming it will be gone when Ubuntu updates (with the weird
behavior for long paths hopefully due to different compiler flags or something
like that). As a workaround, modifying PS1 seems to work.
