I apologise for the confusing subject line. The problem originally arose in relation to bash, but I traced it to a "feature" of the readline library. In fact it's more of a historical misunderstanding. agreed that readline should be fixed. kH is entirely wrong. fixed in -8 and later. one more comment: most likely we never noticed this because the default /etc/inputrc we ship takes care of all these things, and it masks the compiled-in behaviour. Yes, it used to be masked. I've noticed for the last year plus that it doesn't work right on "the other Un*x" :) Much appreciated. Although ... the xterm terminfo doesn't work right with Solaris xterm ... |
