In text console: Ensure $PWD is printed in shell prompt and coloring is on. 1. mkdir -p long_name1/long_name2/... 2. cd long_name1/long_name2/... If all shell prompt is bigger than 80 chars, cursor becomes dark blue (in my case) 3. cd .. Cursor is normal again.
post a screenshot of your terminal
Created attachment 76853 [details] Console screenshot New observation: shell prompt should be long enough _and_ scrolling down should be made. Just long shell prompt (right after login) give proper color.
heh, i meant take a screenshot while in like X using gimp or imagemagick or something
try bash-3.1_p5-r1 and if it still breaks, take a screenshot from inside of linux rather than using a camera
