And it was also my problem - that I've had for years now and just lived
with.  I've had non-printing escape sequences set up for PS1 for years
(since the early 90's), and also for "lc", "ll" and "la" aliases for
"ls" long before ls even had color.  I never switched to using builtin
colors so that's how this problem started.

But now its fixed.  Cool.  Thanks.
