I installed Ubuntu 11.10 mini + LXDE and wanted to make my command line different in terminal (than just plain white), so I added blue color to path line (everything until $ sign) and it works fine but I have two strange glitches now:

  1. When i write a line which is longer than terminal window, instead of starting at next line it starts at the same one, overwriting everything which was in there.
  2. Sometimes while navigating over previous commands (up/down arrow keys) some part of command gets stuck and is treated as part of prompt (the blue text), but it is white and is non-deletable and is not taken as part of command when i press enter.

What could I mess up? The bad thing is that I don't remember what exactly did I change, but i'm sure I changed only one line in bashrc
