When typing or deleting the 2nd to 11th of these additional characters, the commandline is printed after one additional linefeed, and some of the characters of the prompt overlap with the command line. Since I like the zsh very much, I hope you can fix this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert F.
