Re: Bug in Terminal?

Example that does work perfectly:
'echo asdjhasakvjnaerkufniunaiudnvai rfavuicans dofivja rpf asdfpasodjf j fvasid fas dfasdofijasdofiasovcinsaodifnsaoidfv sd vsdfvsodivjasodijfaosihjfasokdjhf\303\246PEORF\303\206POWeijfsavsdfs dflajds\303246lkj\303\246p\302\250falsdijf alskdjf alksdj fasf asdf'


In this command, the line break works as expected, and resizing the Terminal window also works as expected.

Example where trouble begins:
'java sadfljsdfaisjdfas fas dofiajsdoifjasodimosaidjfo asidjf asdf asdfijasdofijasodfijasodifja sdf asdfoiasjdflkasjdf\303\270iasjerfoaf sa doifjs odijf asldjf oasidjf oasidj asdfasdfasoiejf alkf aslkdjf kdjf laskdj flksajdaslkdjf alskdjf'


In this case, as I type in the nonsense, after typing the full line, my insertion point does start over on the last line when it is full, in stead of jumping one line down as expected. However (important): my java commands *executes* as expected (no arguments lost), so this is only an annoying problem with display, it seems. And just to be clear on this point: This is a problem *before* I hit the RETURN key, before I actually ask Terminal to execute the command.

Just pondering here:
Could this be related to command completion of your shell?
What kind of shell are you using? bash, tcsh or zsh? (echo $SHELL may give the answer)


From a shell, start a new bash shell using:
"bash --noprofile --norc"
(for tcsh this is probably "tcsh -f", but please check so)
In the shell you get there, do you still have the same problem?
