} I am getting a weird display corruption problem, it looks like this :

Why do you think this is "corruption"?

The mostly likely explanation is the PROMPT_SP option.  Doc excerpt:

     When a partial line is preserved, you will see an inverse+bold
     character at the end of the partial line:  a "%" for a normal user
     or a "#" for root.
