[snip] I do have one final question.
If I set PS1 like this:
PS1="\[\033]61;\w\007\]\u@\h:\w\\$ "
Everything works great, no issues at all, what is expected is what is displayed.
Now, when i make only a slight modification as such:
PS1="\[\033]61;\u@\H\007\]\u@\h:\w\\$ "
all the sudden i have a duplicate space after my prompt as in:
v468929@TRD-CAX40JXD:~$ ls db2Mgr.
that goes away when i hit the tab complete button to show me my options:
v468929@TRD-CAX40JXD:~$ ls db2Mgr. db2Mgr.C db2Mgr.h v468929@TRD-CAX40JXD:~$ ls db2Mgr.
I'm trying to get this prompt to work:
PS1="\[\033]61;\u@\H\007\]\u@\H \W>"
but the issue there is that the > is duplicated (just like the space above, but much more noticable). Any ideas as to why making the title modification to use \u@\H instead of \w is causing these issues?
There is a prompt bug in bash that causes it to miscount the number of displayed characters. One workaround was to append '\[\]' to PS1. Also, a good habit to get into is to use single quotes in the shell when some value contains backslashes.
However, I can't reproduce your problem on my system (I only see one '>' with the above PS1 setting). I don't believe you've posted the information requested in the problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> in this thread... Please attach the output of "cygcheck -svr" so that we can find out, among other things, what version of bash you are using, as well as what else is different in our setups. Igor
