Problem when editing cmd-line with external editor

[Michael Naumann]

Hi everybody

I already sent this mail several days ago but did not get any reply.

May I kindly ask, whether my mail reached a "responsible" person
so that I know I don't have to try any further to contact a developer
for this issue ?

Best regards, Michael

Release Status: release

Description:
  When invoking an external editor in "set -o vi"-mode and issuing a "cd 
anywhere"-command,
  the PS1 is updated delayed

Repeat-By:
  start an interactive bash-session
  set the PS1 to something that shows the cwd, such as
    PS1="\u@\h:\w\$"
  now switch to vi-mode and setup your favourite editor
    set -o vi
    alias vi=vim
  or
    alias vi=vile
  (I guess, it does not really depend on the actual editor)
  Now type "<ESC>v" to start the external editor
  whithin this editor enter, e.G
    cd /tmp
  leave the editor with ZZ or :wq
  You are back in bash now.
  Watch your prompt. It still is unchanged, the new path (/tmp) is not 
reflected.
  Now hit <CR>, the prompt changes.
