I recently reinstalled Arch on my machine, and unlike before, rxvt-unicode seems to have adopted a strange behavior.
When to much text is present on one line, it sort of wraps around itself as such: http://bayimg.com/gANLpaaCG
No configuration is different from before, as I am using the same files from before and no updates for rxvt-unicode has been released this year, so I have no idea what the problem is.
Can anyone help me?

Might be something with your prompt. Can you replicate this problem in a virtual console? If so, add \[ and \] around the colors escape codes in your prompt (assuming you are using bash as your shell).

My rxvt-unicode does that too sometimes. It helps to resize the the window or to issue a 'reset' command.
Edit: Never mind, what mine does is different. If I had just opened my eyes.

Ah, thank you!
I changed my PS1 from:
PS1='\033[01;32m\][\u@\h \033[01;34m\]\W\033[01;32m\]]\033[01;34m\]\$\[\033[00m\] '
to:
PS1='\[\033[01;32m\][\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W\[\033[01;32m\]]\[\033[01;34m\]\$\[\033[00m\] '
...And the problem went away!
I still don't get why this wasn't a problem before, but at least it's gone now.
