Description:
Hi,
I'm using a customized bash prompt:
PS1='`date +%H:%M:%S` \033[1;33m\u@\h:\w>\033[0m'
But with very long path names the prompt overwrites itself instead of
continuing in the next line. Also if the path is even longer, I see parts
of the escape sequences (0m) on the screen but can't reproduce this at
the moment.
Editing of long commands is also a real pain - the lines are totally
destroyed in that case (commandline longer than terminal width).
I'm using precompiled bash from SuSE 8.1, btw.

kind regards
Markus Gaugusch
