Description yuval aviel 2007-01-16 14:18:28 UTC
Version:           1.6.5 (using KDE 3.5.5-1.4.fc6, Fedora Core release 6 (Zod))
Compiler:          Target: i386-redhat-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6

when typing a line longer than the terminal width - the line wrap over itself.
Instead it should go to next line.
This issue makes it very uncomfortable (even in Linux terms) to edit long command lines.

It used to be better in older versions of konsole

Hello Yuval,

What shell process are you using?  If you don't know, run "echo $SHELL" and let me know what output you get.
Comment 3 yuval aviel 2007-01-16 17:04:32 UTC
I ran BASH.
Interestingly, if I change to sh or to tcsh, this issue is ressolved!
Unfortunately, other than this issue, i like BASH.

In addition, the same behavior is repeated by xterm, i.e. lines wrap on themselves in BASH, but not in sh or tcsh.

Any chance this can be fixed? Or should I report to BASH?
Comment 4 Robert Knight 2007-01-16 20:45:36 UTC
Any problems with the programs that run inside the shell should be reported to the Bash developers.
