Hi all, I have this annoying problem with bash: whenever I tried to autocomplete a long path, or try to press the up arrow key to go back to a previous long command, bash always thinks that my console or Eterm window is less than 80 columns and wraps around in a way that mess up the screen.
For example, my current term screen is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ls -l -a /an/extra/long/path/for/example/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ls -l -a /another/extra/long/path/for/example/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ if I try to press the up arrow key now, the screen will show: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ls -l -a /an/extra/long/path/for/example/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ls -l -a /another/extra/long/path/for/example/ path/for/example/$ ls -l -a /another/extra/long/ Location of prompt is at '$' on the thrid line. As you see, it wraps around at much less than my terminal width and on the same line. Whats more, if I press up again, it actually go back to the previous line: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ls -l -a /an/extra/long/path/for/example/ r/example/hoven] ls -l -a /an/extra/long/path/fo path/for/example/$ ls -l -a /another/extra/long/ Location of promt is at the 1st 'h' in the 2nd line! Any ideas? This happens both in console (132x60) and in Eterm (usually 108x55) Thanks for any suggestions. /cwng -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
