broken text wrapping

[absolutelynothelix]

if you reach the end of the line the string will overlap itself once and then start wrapping normally. also for some reason the string starts wrapping pretty early for the first time, leaving some space before the window border.

my kitty config can be found in my previous issue (except padding: i disabled it to see if it is the cause): #2079

This likely has nothing to do with kitty. Make sure your TERM variable is set to xterm-kitty. And try to run

kitty cat

and then try to reproduce the issue. If you can feel free to update this issue with the output of kitty --debug-config and I will take a look.

@kovidgoyal, looks like i found the root cause: it happens only if ps1 has colors.

and i assume it has something to do with kitty.

here is broken ps1 colored in light blue: export PS1="\e[36m\h:\w\\$\e[0m "
here is working ps1 without colors: export PS1="\h:\w\\$ "

[kovidgoyal]

No it has to do with your shell. Use

\[\e[36m\]\h:\w\\$\[\e[0m\]

@kovidgoyal, it works fine now, thank you! i remember these escaped brackets but i lost my previous bashrc file where i used them so i decided to ignore them. looks like they are important.
