I do not understand you. I have said my prompt is (and always were)
fancy. Then, you say that this might be the cause of the problem - BUT,
as a possible try to solve, you tell me to make another fancy prompt.

And do not forget one thing: the tabs' titles are working almost as they
were before. With vim, sometimes, it does not reset when vim exits, as
it always did, since around 20 years ago.

I check all lines in /etc/skel/.bashrc. It does not show me anything
new. My prompt contains only things that it has, and sometimes different
(skel does not use as many colors as i do, for PS1).
