first few characters of previous command become part of the prompt when i press the up arrow

[steep scarab]

why does this happen????

[neon hamlet]

did you change anything inside your .bashrc file?

other than the prompt

[steep scarab]

nope

this has been happening for months, no matter the prompt

[neon hamlet]

Just with bash?

[steep scarab]

wait

okay it doesn't work with a single line prompt

but single line prompt ugly

[neon hamlet]

Soo for the multiline prompt you did something like this right? PS1=$'$PWD\n$ '

and the colors and stuff

Cause for me it seems to work fine

[steep scarab]

i can send you the prompt

[neon hamlet]

yeah send

[steep scarab]

PS1='\e[31m[\e[33m\u\e[32m@\e[36m\h \e[34m\W\e[35m]\n\e[30mλ\e[0m '

[neon hamlet]

works fine to me

don t know what might be the problem

I m out of ideas sorry :(

[steep scarab]

dang

[acoustic barn]

@steep scarab happens on multiple terminal emulators too?

[steep scarab]

yup

[acoustic barn]

and multiple shells? (bash, zsh, etc)

[steep scarab]
