Terminal shows garbled text when reopened

[Danilo Cominotti Marques]

This is reproducible ~90% of the time. Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Terminal.
2. 'cd' to some folder.
3. Open a second tab and 'cd' to some other folder.
4. Close Terminal.
5. Reboot.
6. Open Terminal and select the first tab.
7. The "current line/path" will be displayed with characters in wrong positions.

Please see the attached image and note the first few characters. If any key is pressed after that (e.g.: down arrow), the line text turns normal.

It's happening when length of string "user@computer_name + path" more than 35 symbols. This is reproducible ~10% of the time.

No love for this bug? It's been +1 year (I know people are busy working on other bugs, not complaining!) and it's *really* annoying. In my case, I can reproduce it 100% of the times (perhaps I cd into very long paths?).

Anyone working on this?
