If I have a console 80 chars wide, and echo the following text: ^[[H12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890^Mxxxxxxxx I would expect to see the following output (as I do in Linux or rxvt): xxxxxxxx901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 however, if the console is 80 chars wide, I instead see 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 xxxxxxxx The cursor is being advanced to the second line when the 80th character is written to the screen, this shouldn't be the default behavior. Can someone who is familiar with the source point me to the correct location so I can address this?
