Description Gerald Teschl 2001-04-18 15:29:51 UTC

If I cd into a directory which is a symlink, bash2 (pwd,tab completion)
will predent that
my current wd is the symlink, but for all other command its the real
direcory. This is extremely
confusing!

also \w in PS1.

It's not a bug, it's a setting - if you don't like it, "set -o physical" in 
your .bashrc.
