I've seent his problem. The cause was my $PS1 setting in my ~/.bashrc

cursor jumping disappeared.
Thank you Marius, it seems to be the right way. Would you please help me to
optimize it.
I like to have a short prompt, e.g. a green $ for a normal user.
PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\$ \[\033[00m\]'
And I would
like to set the console title to user@machine/path. With the escape
sequences I had this in Konsole sessions. But I don't know how to achieve
it with the $PROMPT_COMMAND.
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}/${PWD}\007"'
If you also want the terminal window title to show you the command that
is currently being executed, check out http://mg.pov.lt/blog/bash-prompt.html
HTH,
