fontified shell prompt not recognized

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

My shell prompt looks like "pete 125 /\ " and I tried to beautify it in 
customization. Now C-a on the command line does not stop at the 
command's start but at line's beginning. The customization code is 
approximately that:

 '(comint-completion-recexact t)
 '(comint-highlight-prompt ((t (:foreground "dark blue" :weight bold 
:family "-*-courier new-medium-r-*-10646-1"))))
 '(comint-input-ignoredups t)
 '(comint-prompt-regexp "^[a-z]+ [0-9]+ /\\\\ " t)
 '(comint-use-prompt-regexp-instead-of-fields t)
 '(shell-cd-regexp "[cp]d")
 '(shell-dirtrack-verbose nil)
 '(shell-prompt-pattern "^[a-z0-9]+ [0-9]+ /\\\\ ")
 '(shell-pushd-dextract t)
 '(shell-pushd-dunique t)
 '(shell-pushd-regexp "p{ush,}d")
 '(shell-pushd-tohome t)

Actually the dark blue bold customization does not include the "/\" 
part of the prompt. Setting for this session a background colour then 
it stretches the complete prompt.
