Victor--

Did you recently install anything that might mess with your prompt?

Stuff like oh-my-zsh and similar. It sounds like your prompt may be
the issue, and you could verify this by changing it to just like $ by
doing something like this:

export PS1=$

Now, depending how fancy the prompt is, it could have a lot more stuff
like right aligned things and other stuff that eats up other exported prompt
variables.

At least it is something to try...
