205A workaround was added for a problem with the "multiline" editor mode which
206occurs when the edit line becomes longer than the terminal's width and the
207terminal cursor is not at position 0 when PS1 is send to the terminal.
208
209For example: The user executes a $ printf "foo"<enter> # the prompt will start
210at position 3 instead of 0. If the user enters a command which is longer than
211the terminal width and then removes enougth characters that the edit line fits
212again into one line the "foo" at the beginning will be overwritten with the
213prompt.
214
215The workaround is to add $(printf "%*s\r%s" COLUMNS "") at the beginning of
216PS1 set by /etc/ksh.kshrc, this causes the shell to move to the beginning
217of the next line if the terminal cursor is not at position 0.

221A fix was backported to cure sporadic VSC test suite failures. The failures are
222generated when command substitutions+functions are executed in a nested manner
223- sometimes the return code is non-zero even if the called function explicitly
224contains a "return 0"-statement.
