From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030702 Galeon/1.3.9 Description of problem: The ~ key should toggle the case of characters in vi-mode. In Redhat 9 it seems to also inject a number of garbage characters into the command line as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bash-2.05b-20.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add the following to .bash_profile unset INPUTRC 2. log in again 3. run bash 4. execute the command set -o vi 5. at the prompt, enter: abcde 6. hit ESC 7. hit LEFT twice 8. hit ~ (tilde) Actual Results: command line changes to: abC^RB^H^Q^H,de if I hit 'v' at this point (to edit the command line in vi) I see: abCÿ^RB^H°^Q^H,de (that's "abC", y with an umlaut, "^RB^H", degree symbol, "^Q^H,de", in case this web form can't digest the above. ^X == control-X) so it isn't just a display problem. bash has actually mangled the command line. Expected Results: character under cursor should toggle case, so the command line should change to: abCde Additional info: This problem didn't exist in RedHat 6.2 or 7.3 with either bash or bash2.
Should be fixed in bash-2.05b-31, shortly to appear in rawhide.
Where can I get an RPM of the above?
