The default bashrc uses PROMPT_COMMAND superfluously. PROMPT_COMMAND essentially runs a command each time the user hits <enter>. That's handy for dynamic prompts, but unnecessary for ours. The patch in comment #1 remedies this. Reproducible: Always

I forgot to mention I incorporated the fix from bug #208695 as well.
umm, PS1+= ? i really dont think that's what you wanted
(In reply to comment #3) > umm, PS1+= ? i really dont think that's what you wanted It's necessary to append to PS1; however as far as the particular syntax is concerned var+=string was added to bash in 3.1-alpha1 and we do have older bash's in portage, so maybe we should change it to PS1="${PS1}..." But yes, PS1+= is what I intended.
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Do window title setup through PS1 http://sources.gentoo.org/app-shells/bash/bash-4.3_p33-r2.ebuild?rev=1.1 http://sources.gentoo.org/app-shells/bash/files/bashrc-r2?rev=1.1
