Bash Version: 5.2
Patch Level: 2
Release Status: release
It is not a new behavior in 5.2, but since then I used to work
around this issue with
read -set .001 -d '' DISCARD
before the actual read -e
Alas, this does not work anymore with 5.2 (-e and -t combination
triggers shell exit or, when used in a script, prevents further use of read
-e).
Is there a solution to this problem? The return of the previous
behavior of -e and -t combination would be fine for me although I don't
understand why I need this.
Thanks for the report. I just fixed this yesterday based on another report.
Here's a patch; it will be in the next devel branch push.
