Ever since I upgraded to Debian Wheezy with the speakup kernel I have had generally excellent results with one bit of strangeness that may or may not have anything to do with speakup. I normally have an alert signal in my bash PS1 string to make the terminal beep even if speech is off or broken. This now appears to be throwing an index off such that I think I am at a certain column but I am actually editing the column to the left of it. If I take out the \a in the PS1 string, it does all work right. Also, normal editing of files with vi works so the only thing that is broken is if I want to edit and rerun a previous shell command. Is there any way I can fix this so as to have both the bell character and the correct placement of the cursor? Thanks for any suggestions. Martin McCormick
