Bash Version: 5.1
Patch Level: 8
Release Status: release
Description:
The manpage for bash(1) says:
unix-filename-rubout
Kill the word behind point, ***USING WHITE SPACE AND THE SLASH
CHARACTER AS THE WORD BOUNDARIES***. The killed text is saved
on the kill-ring. [Emphasis mine]
In certain circumstances, however, it gobbles up too much.
Thanks for the report. That circumstance is a pathname consisting solely of
one or more slashes, separated from the previous word by whitespace. I'll
fix it.
PS: I'm hopeful there might be some kind of workaround that will work even
on those dated releases! [crossing fingers]
The code has been like this since January, 2004. That's pretty dated.
