i use this prompt since bash 2.05x : PS1="\[\033[1;34m\][ \w ]\[\033[0m\]\n[\[\033[31m\]\u@\h \[\033[0m\]\t]\[\033[31m\]=>\[\033[0m\]" and and i see on my console/terminal: [ /tmp ] [heinz@h0me 12:14:56]=> (with bash 3.0, too) BUT: the newline function (\n) is strange since bash 3.0 example: [ /tmp ] [heinz@h0me 12:14:56]=>eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and it should be: [ /tmp ] [heinz@h0me 12:14:56]=>eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeee and i can't edit the line, because the cursor has a hiccup and didn't reach the first line. playing around with PS1="\u \w \n" shows strange effects, too. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and it should be: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
