The readline 5.1 update has brought with it increased bugs in bash's
prompt length calculation when nonprinting characters are used.
My PS1:
PS1='\[\e[32;1m\]\u@\h \[\e[0m\][\w] \$ '
with latest bash and readline, bash positions the cursor 1 position to
the right of where it should be when cd-ed to the ~ directory.
Is there any ETA when the more severe length calculation bugs that have
existed since bash 3 will be fixed?
Thanks,
Max.
