Bug 118205 – bash-3.1 problem with line wrapping in terminals

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Derek Dolney 2006-01-07 10:45:50 UTC]

I am using app-shells/bash-3.1-r2 and I noticed an issue with line wrapping in terminal emulators (happens with gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm). When I first open a shell, typing past the last column wraps back to the same line (should wrap to the next line).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a new terminal (that uses bash)
2. Hold down 'd' and notice that the line wrap does not advance.
[3.] Press enter.
[4.] Bash will say "command not found". Now line wrapping will work properly in this shell.

This issue is not present in bash-3.0-r14.

yeah, ive noticed this before

I think this bug cause another problem
when you enter commands too fast, the first character will be ate by konsole.
for exampel, you enter ls command very fast, 
you get the following result like me:
younker@HuaKe ~ $ ls
bin  Desktop  doc  download  fp.cfg  fp.dsk  fp.ini  Mail  mp3  Templates  work  workspace
younker@HuaKe ~ $ s
bash: s: command not found
younker@HuaKe ~ $ s
bash: s: command not found
younker@HuaKe ~ $ s
bash: s: command not found
younker@HuaKe ~ $

the character l was ate by bash or konsole?
