210These are caused by the \f(CW\*(C`readline\*(C'\fR perl extension. Under normal
211circumstances, it will move your cursor around when you click into the
212line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment,
213but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in some
214cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly.
