Info: Version: 1.02 Hardware: Sun3/60 OS: SunOS-4.0.3 Description of the problem: 1. I use a newline embedded in the prompt line and this seems to fool the BASH. For example if I have 40 character in the prompt string (counting the newline character) and I have 4 characters in the string after the newline then BASH starts scrolling after I input 39 characters instead of 75! (80 characters wide tty) I used KSH before and it seems to handle this situation properly. This bug is repeatable. 2. I use the reverse video (standout mode) for my prompt. When I come out of a interactive search of history by hitting <ESC> key the command line is garbled. This is not so when I use a prompt line without reverse video. This bug is repeatable. 3. When BASH starts scrolling the prompt string scrolls off along with the command line. KSH always displays the prompt string, fully, scrolling off only the command line. This bug is repeatable. BASH, I love it!! -Anantha- ******************************************************************************* Anantha Padmanabha N.
