Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release

Description:
        I have set PS1 var to this:
        PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \[\e[1;33;40m\]$? 
\$\[\033[00m\] '
        according to bash manual, if I use character like \e[1;33;40m similar 
that
        doesn't occupy the width, use \[ and \] sequence to close them,

        But unfourtunalte, that seems not work.

        I think it's a regression that I used to use this PS1 while bash-3.0 or 
eariler.

Reproducible: Always
