The use of ANSI sequences in konsole seems to confuse konsole's idea of where the current write position is. When I run a bash shell inside konsole and set the prompt string to contain ANSI escape sequences, then when typing long lines the write position wraps back to the beginning of the current line before the right margin has been reached. The same behaviour can be observed with xterm, so the problem obviously has been inherited from there.
