Bug with newline in prompt


From: Cameron Kerr
Subject: Bug with newline in prompt
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 16:04:39 +1300

GNU bash, version 2.04.11(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu)
Copyright 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

PS1=${bold}\h:\u \w\$\n${unbold}\$

Where ${bold} and ${unbold} are from setterm -bold on and setterm -bold
off

Problem: when typing past write margin (in xterms and console) text will
wrap
around itself rather than onto the next line. This behaivious is
different to 
when PS1 is without the \n
