Known problems -------------- This version of bash/readline supports multi byte handling that is e.g. wide character support for UTF-8. This causes problems in geting the current cursor position within the readline runtime library: bash-4.1> LANG=ja_JP bash-4.1> echo -n "Hello" bash-4.1> In other words the prompt overwrites the output of the echo comand. The boolean variable byte-oriented set in /etc/inputrc or $HOME/.inputrc avoids this but disables multi byte handling.
