            Bug ID: 17171
           Summary: reprint prompt after asynchronous output
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: cli
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dje at google dot com

IWBN if gdb reprinted the prompt after asynchronous output (e.g. thread state
changes).  Even better would be to first delete the old prompt, print the
asynchronous output, and then reprint the prompt (plus any text entered by the
user up to that point).

As things are today, the prompt can get lost in the middle of a lot of
asynchronous output, and even if the user can find it s/he can be left confused
as to whether gdb is waiting for input.
