Re: bash 4.4.18 return to new line

[Alexander Kozlenkov]

I bracketed \[ and \] each prompt variables and simple symbols and line
break does work right.
Example:
> \[\e[1;32m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[1;32m\]@\[\e[m\]\[\e[1;32m\]\h\[\e[m\]
But if I bracketed sequences some symbols, line break does not work .
Example:
>  \[\e[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\e[m\]

And thanks for You help!
