Somewhat related. You can get the same, completion altering attributes
effect, with PROMPT='%S%U%Bhello%b '
I see that was never addressed. The code clearly originally had handling
to reset attributes. The TSC_DIRTY flag is included for escape sequences
that apparently reset other attributes. That includes standout off,
underline end, bold on and bold off. If standout end is dirty, you
have to wonder about the bold off sequence that lacks a termcap entry
(\e[22m). Any terminal I have access has no such issues.

The following patch addresses this by restoring colours in addition to
other attributes when TSC_DIRTY is set. There's still an issue after
completion where a final space character isn't redrawn in standout.
And completion is still sometimes wiping attributes and returning to
defaults.

txtchangep and txtattrmask seem to be doing much the same thing -
tracking the current attributes. The need for tracking attributes that
have been turned off such as TXTNOBOLDFACE seems a bit odd - wouldn't
the absence of TXTBOLDFACE do the job?

I've not done that then but I did put the AND before the OR.
