Bug Description

This is using jaunty, fr_CH.UTF-8, gnome-terminal encoding : UTF8

How to reproduce :
1) open gnome-terminal
2) mkdir Téléchargements
3) cd Téléchargement
4) type a long multiline command line
5) press up arrow to fix your command line, then home to go in the beginning

What happens :
sometimes the cursor goes too much to the left (on the #), then changing letters corrupts the command line (jumps two chars, etc.) it's even worst if you use accentuated letters

Not in xterm or virtual console.
