[SOLVED] Annoying text left-behind when browsing terminal history.

Hi, i got this problem where when i browse terminal history by pressing up and down, at certain point, a text will be left behind.

Let's say i had this in my history:

cd Downloads

When i pressed up a few times (it seems random) i will had this:

cd Davrdude -p t13 -p usbasp ....

I cant backspace it unless i clear the terminal or pressing enter.

edit: here's my bashrc

[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

set -o vi
bind '"jk":vi-movement-mode'

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='\[\e[1;38;5;255m\][\[\e[1;38;5;197m\]\u@\h\[\e[1;38;5;255m\]: \[\e[1;38;5;199m\]\W\[\e[1;38;5;213m\]\[\e[1;38;5;255m\]]\$ \e[m\]'

If you revert your prompt to the default, does the behaviour persist?

PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

Are you setting $TERM anywhere?

yeah, the problem persist
i have

TERM="rxvt-unicode-256color"

Don't do that. Forcing TERM just breaks things.

umm, so i just unset it?

edit:
i unset the TERM variable, and it works, i will mark this as solved and find a way to make it permanent

edit2:
forgot to say thanks, sorry, thanks a lot!
