-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Alex Goldman on 7/21/2005 3:00 AM: > Here's an example (I tried this in the original DOS/Cygwin terminal > and in Rxvt) : > > 1. type "grep" in the command line, but don't hit Enter > 2. hit Tab quickly several times (two is often enough) > > The line now becomes "grepp", even though there are no "grepp*" in PATH. > > (Hitting Enter invokes "grep" - single 'p') This sounds related to the buggy prompt display code. There is a known issue in readline where some (but not all) prompts cause display problems, because the display engine isn't properly accounting for invisible characters in the string, and I am awaiting a patch from the upstream maintainer. In the meantime, I was unable to reproduce the symptoms; could you please let me know what your $PS1 variable is? - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
