I do have one final question.
If I set PS1 like this:
PS1="\[\033]61;\w\007\]\u@\h:\w\\$ "
Everything works great, no issues at all, what is expected is what is displayed.
Now, when i make only a slight modification as such:
PS1="\[\033]61;\u@\H\007\]\u@\h:\w\\$ "
all the sudden i have a duplicate space after my prompt as in:
v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD:~$ ls db2Mgr.
that goes away when i hit the tab complete button to show me my options:
v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD:~$ ls db2Mgr.
db2Mgr.C db2Mgr.h
v468929 AT TRD-CAX40JXD:~$ ls db2Mgr.
I'm trying to get this prompt to work:
PS1="\[\033]61;\u@\H\007\]\u@\H \W>"
but the issue there is that the > is duplicated (just like the space
above, but much more noticable). Any ideas as to why making the title
modification to use \u@\H instead of \w is causing these issues?
