Is there something I can do about this? Can you elaborate on what you mean by "can not edit the command any more"? The expected behavior is that it should spill (wrap) onto the next line, but you should still be able to use backspace/arrow keys/etc to manipulate the command. I tried the above setting of PS1 and it worked fine. If you'd rather that the line scroll and not wrap, you can add the following to your ~/.inputrc: set horizontal-scroll-mode On If you still have problems with editing a command that exceeds the screen width, then it sounds like bash is not aware of the correct screen width for some reason. We'd probably need more information about your setup in order to figure it out, such as cygcheck -svr output. Are you using the current version of bash? Are you using CMD.EXE or rxvt or something else? What's the value of $TERM? Does it work correctly if you resize the console after it's been started (by dragging the edges with the mouse)? Do you have anything nonstandard in your startup files?
