I'm guessing that you have non-printing characters in your prompt. I don't
know why the problem wouldn't have shown up for you before though if your
prompt hasn't changed. If this is the problem, you need to surround
sequences of non-printing characters with \[ and \].

There's not enough information to say.  I can't reproduce it, and you're
the only one to report something like this.

readline doesn't refresh properly anymore

2016-06-02 Thread Charles T. Smith
Hello,

I moved from ubuntu 10.04 to 14.04 and now readline usually doesn't refresh
my command line when scrolling through my history - the last tokens are often
not shown until I move the cursor there.  Is that due to a change in bash?

TIA,
