I'm consistently getting clipped text for any colored text in the terminal window.  For instance, if I use "ls --color=auto", any of the file names which are displayed with a special color have a certain amount of the right side of the word cut off, however all of the plain words are displayed correctly.  The amount of text that is cut off from a colored word appears to be proportional to the length of the word.  I've also seen this with my colored bash prompt.  After closely comparing a colored prompt versus a plain prompt of the same text, it appears that the colored text has wider characters than the plain text and the colored text gets cut off at whatever length would have been sufficient for the plain text.
