RE: bash 3.x path completion problems

["burning shadow" <burning dot shadow at gmail dot com>]

I figured out it happens only with colored command prompt. Probably, I
have some errors in ansi codes, I tried different variants, here are
some of them:

PS1='\[\033]0;\w\007\033[32m\]\u\[\033[0m\]:\[\033[33m\]\w\[\033[0m\]\$ '
PS1='\[\033[32m\]\u\[\033[0m\]:\[\033[33m\]\w\[\033[0m\]\$ '

If I remove all ansi codes from PS1, everything looks as expected.

Please, point me, what do I do wrong.. I liked my colored string so much.. :)
