Description Behdad Esfahbod 2006-07-27 21:54:50 UTC
Reproduced.

From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99445

One of the ways to reproduce one of this type problem:
1. set terminal window width to about 106
2. type long line 
   vi      /dcfdfdfd/fdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfddffdtr4trt/g.java
so there may spaces between vi and file name such that the line wrapes.
3. Press enter, vi will be started.
4. exit from vi.
5. press arrow up, so the long command will show up again.
6. move cursor and put few more spaces (10-15) between vi and filename.
7. Increase terminal width to about 120-130. You will see garbage on screen,
   like this:
vi      /dcfdfdfd/fdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfddffdt
fdtr4trt/g.javaaa

(see garbage in the end of file name and etc.)

Similar problems araise in many other situations.

Same bug reproduced with xterm and with konsole. So it has nothing to do with vte, it's a readline/bash bug.
