Long commands do not line break

Greetings!

When I type really long commands, I would think and like it to break to the next line. Instead it begins re-writing the current line I am on.

Mine has no problems wrapping around to the next line... Are you perhaps using ANSI sequences in your command prompt not 'escaped' properly to bash?
What terminal, is your termcap/terminfo up to date?
Is the number of columns/lines with what bash thinks and reality synchronized? $COLUMNS $LINES

Nice, that was the ticket! I was missing a "\[" in my color sequence. Thanks!
