Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.2.12-2
Severity: normal



If you have a long prompt string such that the line exceeds the screen width 
(.e.g due to using current working directory in the prompt), the display 
becomes garbled on the line entry. 

This happen with or with screen running, but doesn't happen in xterm, therefore
I conclude it is an xfce4-terminal bug. (or libvte)
