BASH PATCH REPORT ================= Bash-Release: 3.0 Patch-ID: bash30-002 Bug-Reported-by: "Ralf S. Engelschall" Bug-Reference-ID: <20040728082038.GA31398@engelschall.com> Bug-Reference-URL: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2004-07/msg00262.html Bug-Description: After upgrading the OpenPKG "bash" package to 3.0, we had to discover that the prompt handling on Bash 3.0 / Readline 5.0 is broken if a multiline prompt (a string containing newlines) is used. The effect is that on the first input line (where the last line of the prompt is the prefix) the input line is wrapped N characters before the last column where N seems to be exactly the length (including newlines) of the prompt ($PS1) minus the characters on the last line of the prompt.
