Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 25
Release Status: release

Description:

Compare to prompts:
export PS1='\e[37;1;40m[\A]\e[0m$(pwd)> '
export PS1='[\A]$(pwd)> '

the former it is the same as the latter but uses color. When using 
colorful prompt and entering very long line the word wrap works 
incorrectly.

Repeat-By:
Use the colorful version. Type for example
mv ver
and hit tab, assuming there is a file with
very-long-I-mean-realllllyyyyyyy-long-to-be-exact-very-very-huge-long-filename-with-some-addition-to-cause-word-wrap
 in your system and observe how the "tail" of the filename is wrapped 
to the same line, instead of next.

Check with Konsole, xterm, and console.
