I'm debugging a program:

// t.c
#include <assert.h>
int main() {
    assert(0);
    return 0;
}

gcc t.c -g
gdb ./a.out
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/user/a.out 
a.out: t.c:4: main: Assertion `0' failed.

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
__GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:50
50  ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb)

When entering TUI by ctrl-x a and up to check upper frame, it's a mess. The prompts are supposed to be aligned but now the it's marching across the screen:

Even leaving gdb and returning back to bash, the output is still a mess.

I'm using gdb 9.2 and ubuntu 20.04.

Does this answer your question? How to install debug symbols for installed packages? – N0rbert Oct 16 '20 at 14:36

@N0rbert isn't the OP's question about why the prompt is marching across the screen? – steeldriver Oct 16 '20 at 14:42
You've tagged this bash - however I think what is more important is the terminal emulator that you are using. Is this WSL by any chance? – steeldriver Oct 16 '20 at 14:44
Sorry for my late response. Yes, I'm asking about the messy prompt. They're supposed to be aligned but now they're out of order. I'm not using WSL. I edited the question to make it more clear. – zingdle Oct 18 '20 at 02:53
