Readline versus wide xterms
Does anyone know what it is that makes readline eat itself when a terminal
is very wide?
Example: make an xterm 120 chars wide. Type in some long command that
spans more than one line. Now up arrow to the prev command and back arrow
through it. You'll notice that the display gets out of sorts.
I know I'm not the only one to notice this.
I plan to fix it because, dammit, I demand a 200-char wide psql window.
I'm just fishing for some clues here in case anyone tried to chase this
bug before.
Anyway, I dunno if this is a Debian-particular problem but I didn't notice
it on Slackware.
