Ok, I give up. Time to be embarrassed. Amazing newbie question, though I have been everywhere looking for a reference: After resizing an xterm larger, ls outputs with the last column shifted way over, and the cursor no longer works correctly (look at "stats"). The cursor seems to jump past an area on the rhs of the screen: rcarter@Chuska:/www/sites [112] /bin/ls chino about.html business.html events.html images info.html stats banner.html chino.html history.html index.html resource.html rcarter@Chuska:/www/sites [113] I resize the xterm again, this time smaller, and I get: rcarter@Chuska:/www/sites [113] /bin/ls chino about.html chino.html images resource.html banner.html events.html index.html stats business.html history.html info.html rcarter@Chuska:/www/sites [114] which is as expected. This is bash2, and yes there are terminal escape sequences in the prompt but no they don't affect output of ls, i.e., if I take them out I get the same result. What gives?
