Hi,

I'm running into an issue where powerline appears to (mostly) be working, but the shell prompt isn't being updated with the CWD segment.

If I open a terminal emulator (confirmed this behavior with gnome-terminal, alacritty, and urxvt), I see a prompt open up as expected.  But when I change directories, the prompt is not updated with the current working directory.

The strange thing is that when I run powerline shell left, the correct output is produced.
I suspect there's something else updating the prompt, but I'm not sure where to look.


Environment:
$ echo $TERM
xterm-256color

$ pip3 show powerline-status
Name: powerline-status
Version: 2.7

  POWERLINE_BASH_CONTINUATION=1
  POWERLINE_BASH_SELECT=1

fi

$ echo $PROMPT_COMMAND
__bp_precmd_invoke_cmd; __bp_interactive_mode


Any ideas where else I should start looking?
