I'm seeing the same problem with ksh (PD KSH shipped with NetBSD) and
both terms I tried, i.e. xterm and rxvt.

Furthermore, if there are several matches for e.g. filename completion,
the shell prints them as if the number of columns didn't change, until
I force a new prompt. [1]That's how it looks (I started two terms,
focused the one started first, and entered 'ls /bi', tab, tab, ^U,
return, 'ls /bi', tab, tab, ^U).

Hitting return before entering the command works around the problem,
of course...

With bash I don't see the problem at all.

Cheers, Jukka
