my terminal in gnome when I'm writing a command bigger than the console size it wraps the text to the same line that i was witting on :-S .
By default bash doesn't check it's window size after every command. The good thing is that you can make it. Add "shopt -s checkwinsize" to your
~/.bashrc or /etc/profile. Works like a charm.
To reproduce the "error": man bash resize the window quit, and type a long string at the prompt.
It will wrap at the window's original width and wrap onto the same line. echo "shopt -s checkwinsize" >> ~/.bashrc (or /etc/profile) source ~/.bashrc try again
It works correctly!
In my opinion this is something (along with a decent PS1) that should be added to the default /etc/profile or /etc/skel/.bashrc and the user should never have to set by themselves.
