My point was that the question is poorly phrased. It mentions "the
display of the current path in the terminal window", when the actual
issue has absolutely nothing to do with terminal windows. The exact
same thing would happen in a virtual console or a glass teletype, since
it's really about the Shell, not the particular display being used. My
mistake for reading what the question said rather than what (in
hindsight) it really meant.
