Summary:                    console "corruption" while editing long lines
Description: 
if i add in /etc/profile coloring (added in additional information example
content)

To reproduce:

1)enter "tc filter add dev ifb0 parent 1:0 protocol all flow hash keys
src,dst,proto,proto-src,proto-dst divisor 1024", press enter
2)press UP (so it will show this line again), Press HOME.
3)In my case it will show cursor on symbol o (first o in word protocol).
If i try to press right arrow button twice, it will start showing
beginning of the line(word "tc"), so "protocol" will be changed to
"prtcocol"

Telepathic powers were needed to figure out that you are talking about
shell. I assume it's ash - I was able to reproduce it.

It happens in parse_and_put_prompt() function. It has no way of knowing
that parts of PS1 string are control sequences.
