Bug ID: 372250
Summary: readline's history search on up/down arrow keys
visually messes up the edit line
Product: konsole
Version: 16.08.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: history
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@dhardy.name
Target Milestone: ---
1. Enable history search on up/down arrow by adding this to .inputrc:
> "\e[A": history-search-backward
> "\e[B": history-search-forward
See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash#History_completion
2. Start a new konsole session, and enter a long command (one long enough to
wrap to the next line within the konsole), and run it
3. Enter the first few characters of the previous command and press the "up"
arrow. Readline should complete the command for you. This used to work
correctly, but in recent versions of Konsole, the result is visually messed up.
The command still works if you try running it (despite looking garbled), but
editing it is tricky. There is some mismatch between what letters konsole
thinks is on the edit line and what is displayed.
