The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it.

BASH line wrapping (overwrites beginning of line)

Asked by zimerman5 in Linux

Tags: line, putty, bash, overwrites, wrapping

When a command I'm entering at the shell prompt reaches the end of the line, occasionally the terminal does not wrap the text to the following line. Instead it moves the cursor back to the beginning of the current line. If I continue typing, the newly entered characters overwrite the old characters in the display. I'm using putty telnet, but this has happened to me with many different linux/unix servers and many different telnet/ssh/xterm connections. It may only happen when I'm using BASH, but I'm not positive of this since I almost always use BASH. The command still works fine when run, so this is just a display issue. Perhaps it has something to do with my terminal's character encodings. Has anyone else experience this problem? What's the soluton?

Thanks.
