Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release

Description:
        If using colors and a newline (\n) in PS1, there is some offset error,
        with autocompletion or ctrl-a. It appears to be related to readline.

        Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/119938
        for the bug reported in Ubuntu and another recipe to reproduce it.

Repeat-By:
        1. Set PS1="\033[01;37m[ \[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\] 
\033[01;37m]\n\$\033[00m "
        2. Type "foo bar baz"
        3. Press ctrl+a
        4. Cursor should jump back to the beginning of the line, but instead 
jumps back to "foo b."

        This is how it looks like with "_" being the cursor:
        foo b_ar baz
