ADB: long text in bash command line does not wrap

ygrex

Hi,

After adb shell if I type a long command, cursor goes to the left on the same line (overwriting things), then it goes lines up damaging text in a terminal buffer.

I did not spend much on the issue but tried some guesses like resizing terminal emulator window somehow, export COLUMNS= LINES= reset, alternative shells (mksh, fizsh), but did not find anything useful yet.

What do you use to comfortably type in commands through adb shell?

Hi @ygrex

I won't answer your question as I don't use adb.
I use SSH to connect to my phone within my network, so there is no setup or adjustment to be made and I have my regular setup in my regular terminal.

That is something fixed on 20.04
