Bug#525559: libjline-java: terminal problem with wrapped lines

[John V. Belmonte]

Package: libjline-java
Version: 0.9.94-1
Severity: normal

When entering a line that wraps in the terminal, I am unable to back up to
the previous line.  In other words I get stuck with this display:

   prompt> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
   _
   ^ cursor here, can't back up

This happens in both a KDE Konsole and normal Linux console.

I notice that bsh, which uses jline, has the same problem.
