Hi, I’m newbie here and this is my first post to join community.
I tried to keep my terminal minimal, so I delete username@hostname; and keep only folder name.
The .bashrc PS1 setting is '\[\033[01;32m\][\033[01;37m\]\W\[\033[01;32m\]]\$\[\033[00m\] '
The issue I am experiencing is after I typing long command and execute.
The next time if I press keyboard up two times to show previous command; there is.
There must have 9 chars of previous command persist on terminal and it can’t be erase.
I’m not allowed to include images in this post; please check my google album’s images.

As example: this is what I typing for last few command (including the last long command).
After execute, I press keyboard up 2 times or few times to retrieve command history.
This is what it show in my terminal. ( The first 9 chars of previous command persist)
Hoping I clearly state my question; English is not my mother tongue.
Strange. Maybe I look into wrong section.
This PS1 line should be fine.
Here I include my whole .bashrc
I can see there is one line mention printf " %-9s" "${seq0:-(default)}"
Will it be the source of the problem?
I’m not sure how to modify at this point.

You can have my .bashrc if you want, but it’s roughly the same, any customization is likely pretty specific to me. Best to customise your own really. I’ll happily try to help if you run into any more problems or want advice.
Try this first, it’s yours but I’ve edited and tested it.

I tried both. For now not 100% solved.
If I keyed in list of history command; and then I’m using up and down to find the old history.
At some point, it might show up.
Please check my google album; I just renew to new images with your code.
