Prompt is printed strangely when using Mono.Terminal and with colors enabled

[alexrp]

A bunch of extra white space is added after the prompt. Only happens when colors are enabled. Seems to happen on all OSs when Mono.Terminal is used.

Example:

Welcome to the Mono soft debugger (sdb 1.4.5485.30864)   
Type 'help' for a list of commands or 'quit' to exit     

(sdb)          cfg list
...

on my GNU/Linux box, I had this behaviour before installing libedit library. incidentally, i had to manually link (ln -s /path/to/libedit.so.0.0.36 /path/to/sdb/libedit.so.2) the library as I couldn't find the ABI version searched for (.so.2). note also that the fairly standard path /usr/local/lib64 wasn't searched (according to strace) so perhaps a build dependency is in need :)

Same here with the FreeBSD install. I have edited bin/sdb.exe.config to point to libedit.so and it was fine after that.

After that also tests started to work.

Yes, this issue is specifically about the managed Mono.Terminal.LineEditor class.
