commit db2f9c7dc29114f531df4a425d0867d01e1f1e28 upstream.
Currently, if the cursor position is not at the end of the command buffer and the user uses the Tab-complete functions, then the console does not leave the cursor in the correct position.
For example consider the following buffer with the cursor positioned at the ^:
md kdb_pro 10 ^
Pressing tab should result in:
md kdb_prompt_str 10 ^
However this does not happen. Instead the cursor is placed at the end (after then 10) and further cursor movement redraws incorrectly. The same problem exists when we double-Tab but in a different part of the code.
Fix this by sending a carriage return and then redisplaying the text to the left of the cursor.
