I tried reverting that commit (w/42285) and it fixes my problem. I
also can't reproduce any behavior that erases lines with it reverted.
Since having the commit breaks all prompts that are longer than one
line in many(?) terminals, and only fixes the case where it is exactly
as long as one line in some(?) terminals, I would argue for reverting
it in git.
