Machine Type: i586-suse-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 9
Release Status: release
Description:
Unicode composed characters in the shell prompt result in strange
cursor behaviour when the prompt contains xterm escape codes. I'm not
sure if this is a Bash bug or a terminal bug, but I've tried this in
several terminals (xterm, konsole) and in the text console, and it occurs
with all of them.
Repeat-By:
1. PS1="\w\[\033[0m\]"
2. mkdir n̈
(Note that the above is U+006E U+0308)
3. cd n̈
(At this point you will see the cursor is in the wrong place -- it's
shifted four characters to the right.)
4. start typing anything -- the cursor flies wildly all over the
line
