Line editing & history problem

See original GitHub issue

Trying to scroll through history lines, the 1st line is not displayed until hitting the up key again or CTRL-L.

While edititing a line, the cursor often is displaced by 1 position, again CTRL-L helps.

This happens while being connected serially or over websocket running mpfshell in an xterm with screen.

It does not happen when connecting using webrepl.html or using screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 inside the same xterm like above.

There is a fix for this problem in pyserial/miniterm. It’s not yet part of an official release but you can get the patched version of miniterm.py here

https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/blob/cab3dabc81ecbf010d81ff38433db99c1f6d667c/serial/tools/miniterm.py

I consider this bug fixed.

Final remark: On March 8th the patch has been released as part of the official version 3.3 of pyserial. There is no longer a need to download miniterm.py - just updated the package with pip (or your favorite package manager).
