Bash limited display with long commands
Hello,
When I type a long command the prompt makes a carriage return but no new line. The display is screwed because the following characters override the beginning of the command.
The command is right executed. This is a display problem.
This problem happens when I reach the 90th character of the line. However I'm using an ssh connection (windowed in gnome-terminal). So the maximum length of the line should only be limited by the window's width itself.

The command
shopt -s checkwinsize
makes the deal. ( updates set COLUMNS and LINES after each command).
But the command was already in my bashrc... I just logged out and logged in again.
I don't know why it did not work this time.
