Description Elmar Stellnberger (AT/K) 2006-12-05 22:07:45 UTC 
Version:           1.6 (using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" , SUSE 10.1)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16.21-0.25-default

Now enter a command line, which too long for the cols of the konsole window (Eingabe länger als das Konsolenfenster breit ist)
The cursor starts at the beginning of the same line rather than the beginning of the next line; the input gets messed.

username~path>fffffff
fffffame~path>fffffff

instead of
username~path>fffffff
fffff

This is duplicate of bug #48109.

It can be resolved as INVALID.
Comment 2 Elmar Stellnberger (AT/K) 2007-03-09 17:46:32 UTC 
This is caused by libreadline, which is used by bash.
solution:
Enclose escape sequence by \[...\] to tell bash that it has zero length.
