Re: bash-2.05b-14 broken!


Yeah, this bash has the same problems that -12 did, and more.

PS1='\[\]$PWD\[\]>\[\] '
There are some literal escape chars in that...

I get a colored prompt like this:
/home/rcampbell>

if I type t<tab><tab>, then I see a list of possible completions, and:

/home/rcampbell> t t
                ^^
These 2 characters have magically appeared, and are not erasable.

there are two spaces after "$", not one as it should be
(and as it was with bash-2.05b-13 and on all the other unixes).

another manifestation of the same bug: when the command line is folded,
it folds one extra line.

apparently, the prompt output code prints one extra space which it does
not account for internally.
