The space after \[ is not correct.  You're sending a space to the terminal
(or possibly more than one space -- since you didn't quote "$PS1" when
you expanded it, we can't tell), but you're telling bash that it isn't
moving the cursor (because you have \[ before it).

Whether that's causing your problems, I can't say, but it's definitely
not right.
