Hi!
When using %[ and %] (prompt length ignore area) in .psqlrc's prompt
formats, psql sends a \001 before the actual readline commands
(RL_PROMPT_{START,END}_IGNORE). This is the way bash handles the
shell's PSx format, but it is not a readline command, but a bash
specific quirk.
Example .psqlrc:
\set PROMPT1 '%[%033[0;35m%]%/@%m%R%#%[%033[0;22m%] '
-> not correctly handled, the cursor will be in the middle of the
prompt.
Attached patch fixes this. This was investigated and patched by Aaron
Schrab <aaron(at)schrab(dot)com>, full details at http://bugs.debian.org/343616
Thank you for considering this, and have a merry christmas!
Martin
