I.e. What do you see if you type: echo "$TERM" How did you start your bash prompt? Also might be useful to send the output of: stty -a On 2021/10/06 03:35, jp via Cygwin wrote: > Hello,I have the problem described in this page :https://superuser.com/questions/283236/cygwin-bash-prompt-is-wrapping-lines-on-the-same-line > I've tried everything to solved this but I didn't succeed.

Bash may not be wrapping until 191, try setting columns to 80 (stty cols 80) and making sure your stty -a shows the same columns as your '$LINES' variable. About COLUMNS, I see: COLUMNS Used by the select compound command to determine the terminal width when printing selection lists. Automatically set if the checkwinsize option is enabled or in an interactive shell upon receipt of a SIGWINCH. ---- This suggests that it might be necessary to have the checkwinsize variable set, since if you change the size of your bash window, it won't have anyway of knowing if that option is off ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
