Re: Multiline prompt problems with long commands

[Kamil Neczaj]

Hello,

Thank you for your response! I modified this prompt couple of times,
probably that's why it's like this. Anyway, I don't think this should cause
the problem. The PS1 variable is the one I use. I wanted to copy it here to
have exactly the example which I know that causes problems for sure.

Regards,
Kamil Neczaj
