2009-12-18 12:10:33 Yann Leprince description gnome-terminal count bytes instead of chars in prompt for handling the need of new line. For example, I created a folder "~/Vidéos/ééé". the char 'é' takes 2 bytes in UTF-8. When I write something, no problem : rom@rom-laptop:~/Vidéos/ééé$ echo abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrst uvwxyz The problem appears when pressing ↑ (up) in the terminal to write again the same command, and editing it : everything is shifted of 4 chars, cursor is not at the right place, and what appears in the command is not the command executed (see attached screenshot). Bash/readline handles line editing incorrectly when multibyte characters appear in $PS1 between the "\e]0;" and "\a" escape sequences (which serve to update the title of the virtual terminal window). For example, I created a folder "~/Vidéos/ééé". the char 'é' takes 2 bytes in UTF-8. When I write something, no problem : rom@rom-laptop:~/Vidéos/ééé$ echo abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrst uvwxyz The problem appears when pressing ↑ (up) in the terminal to write again the same command, and editing it : everything is shifted of 4 chars, cursor is not at the right place, and what appears in the command is not the command executed (see attached screenshot).
