Same in 8.0. Note that this does occurr in gnome-terminal, xterm and konsole, but *not* on a virtual terminal. Note also that in gnome-terminal and the two other, backspacing though accented characters in UTF-8 is OK, but on a virtual terminal it moves to the left too much; this might have the same cause. Yes, I've seen it too and it's annoying. It's not limited to builtins; the same happens for /usr/bin/printf for example. It has nothing to do with PROMPT_COMMAND (unsetting it does not correct the behaviour). It is not related to $TERM (using e.g. linux as TERM does not correct the problem). Using 'echo -n foo; sleep 2' clearly shows the cursor at the start of the line already. Fixed package is bash-2.05b-12, which will shortly appear in rawhide. *** Bug 80319 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 86058 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
