= I want to thanks again to everybody who tried to
help me. I finally found the problem and, of course,
it was my fault. It was a mistake in the PS1 var from
my .bashrc file.

 I had  export PS1='\u@\h:\[\e[032m\e[1m\]\w >
\e[0m\]'

Forgot to escape the reset command. So I change it to
export PS1='\u@\h:\[\e[32m\e[1m\]\w > \[\e[0m\]'

and bash scrolls now the content as soon as I reach
the right side of the window.

 cheers,
  Val
