Long lines in terminal don't wrap properly

[roed314]

When entering a long line (longer than about 80 characters) in the command line Sage in a terminal window, the characters wrap to the beginning of the same line, overwriting earlier characters in the line. I have then observed other behavior, like the terminal becoming unresponsive. Adding up 1 through 29 manually will trigger this behavior.

Pressing delete while in this state clears much of the line....

I use long lines all the time in the terminal with no trouble, so it's not just completely broken. Thus you need to provide some more details and context. Is this a firefox only issue? What do you mean by "Adding up 1 through 29 manually"? Screenshots? What happens if you resize the terminal? Do you have the same issue with all projects?

Maybe it's just another instance of my browser being screwed up. :-) This is on firefox. I'll give some more details this evening.

any developments? I'm happily copy/pasting ssh keys, too.

This has nothing to do with ssh keys (for that, open the file and copy paste not from the terminal for now). What's being reported here is something else -- not the feature request to remove the newlines in long lines... which I personally really want :-)
