Bug#419578: gnome-terminal: back arrow doesn't show correctly long command lines if terminal window is enlarged

[don Paolo Benvenuto]

I'm able to reproduce it in ubuntu feisty with gnome-terminal 2.18 and
libvte9 0.16.3

The issue is when a command is larger that the terminal width and goes
to the following line. If I Interrupt the command, issuing then the up
arrow gives the problem that the part of the command that should come on
a 2nd line comes on the 1st, overwriting the head of the 1st part.

I think the problem could be that only a CR without LF is sent to the
terminal from the shell.
