Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! There seems to be a glitch in bash when typing lines longer than one screen-width. When you do this, the cursor wraps back to the start of the line, but does not go down a line, so you overtype the beginning of the same line. This appears to occur only in xterms, not on ttyv*, and doesn't occur for sh or csh. Is this a known problem, and can it be cured? Is it because I'm using the wrong termcap entry for xterm? (I am using TERM=xterm, though the same happens for xterm-color.) Thanks, Ben. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
