You're right; the cursor was a block when I saw the bug, but when I changed it to I-beam, command search worked as expected. When using a block cursor, it's shown as a highlight of the character under the cursor, and the highlighting of the searched string seems to be reversing that.
So my bug report can be disregarded. -- Teemu Leisti On Mon, 21 Jun 2021 at 17:10, Chet Ramey <chet.ra...@case.edu> wrote: > > On 6/20/21 12:51 PM, Teemu Leisti wrote: > > > Bash Version: 5.1 > > Patch Level: 4 > > Release Status: release > > > > Description: > > When using ctrl-R to search in the command history, Bash highlights > > the searched string, but not its first character. > > > > Repeat-By: > > 1.
