Description:
The cursor positioning in the prompt is sometimes wrong,
depending on the contents of PS1 and the locale.
Repeat-By:
With this command, the cursor is positioned after the '5', as expected:
env -i LC_CTYPE=en_US PS1='\[\e[0m\]12345' INPUTRC=/dev/null bash --norc
--noprofile
With this command, the cursor is incorrectly positioned after the '1':
env -i LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 PS1='\[\e[0m\]12345' INPUTRC=/dev/null bash --norc
--noprofile
