Hmhm, that's weird. I tried to reproduce (using bash default config) and
I failed. It might be related to your shell and the colors, but I'm not

PS1/PROMPT config? (it's a wild guess, but…)

Hmh, ok, thanks. So it's related to xfce4-terminal anyway. So weird,
because rendering should only be related to vte, afaik :/
