^L in vi mode prints the prompt incorrecty when PS1 is more than one line about oksh HOT 7 CLOSED

Ok. Thanks to your message, I made a second try and sent an email at tech@. I think this is the most I can do for now.

This would be an issue to bring up with the OpenBSD tech@ mailing list.
I intentionally don't forward carry patches; oksh always matches OpenBSD ksh behavior (good and bad).
Please test your setup on an OpenBSD machine and if it's not right, send a patch and then I'll sync oksh.

Well, that's fair enough.

Though due to my lack of experience with that kind of things, I find myself uncapable of doing so.

I managed to get a OpenBSD running in a VM with qemu and I can confirm that the issue appears
when PS1 contains a newline (\n). I got a bit stuck at getting the source code and compiling etc...

Anyway, I will not continue further submitting at their mailing list. It easy enough for me to patch this version every time there is a need. And I am happy enough for that.

So, if anyone is willing, he/she could use the small patch posted above.

It seems to me that you can close this issue if you think this is appropriate.

Thank you for your time and effort!

That's a bit disappointing. Why not benefit everyone?
You don't have to build oksh on the OpenBSD machine. The default shell is oksh. That's the point of this repository.
You said you were able to replicate it on your OpenBSD VM, so why not email your patch to them?

That was a great mail to tech@. I'm glad to have been given the nudge.
I'll sync oksh when any changes happen.

Your fixes were committed to OpenBSD. I've merged them into here.
Thanks again for the bug report, and double thanks for reporting it to tech@!

Congrats on a successful bug report.

And quick update of this repo.
