RE: bash & $PS1 (display error)

Rolf,

Is 'printable' different than plain old printable?


Anyway, I can repeat this (and other concomitant artifacts, too).

It looks like a bug.

I like current directory feedback, too, but I hate it in the prompt. Putting it in the window title bar is nice, however. If you like that idea, try this or something similar:

PS1=$'\[\e]0; \u :: \W (\w)\a\]\!> '
