Version: 1.6.6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux When i enter a long command on the prompt, the overflow comes on the same line overwriting PS1 Also, if i'm already on a long (overflown) command, and i press a backspace (anywhere on the command), the prompt line starts moving upwards, and the previous lines also are overwritten by the garbled command.
I cannot reproduce this myself. Do other terminal programs (eg. xterm, rxvt, gnome-terminal) exhibit the same problem?
Yes, xterm and rxvt too are exhibiting the same problem. I don't have gnome installed, so couldn't test on gnome-terminal. Is it possible for me to send a screen shot to you so that it may be easier for you to understand the problem...
Created attachment 22468 [details] Screen shot of errenous behaviour As you can see, the 1st command worked properly. But when i tried adding 3 more "very"s to the same command, the line moved upwards overwriting everything that was already there. The same thing is happening in xterm and rxvt also.
> Yes, xterm and rxvt too are exhibiting the same problem In which case this is very probably not a bug in Konsole. Some suggestions: - Try different shells (such as zsh,fish,tcsh) to see if there is any difference. - Look in the Debian bug tracker for similar bugs.
Thanks for helping me atleast make some progress in the right direction
