This seems to be related to this bash changelog entry: f. New active mark and face feature: when enabled, it will highlight the text inserted by a bracketed paste (the `active region') and the text found by incremental and non-incremental history searches. There's also this in CWRU/changes that seems related: - rl_activate_mark,rl_deactivate_mark,rl_mark_is_active_p, rl_keep_mark_active: new functions to manage an active region. We don't do anything with an active region yet. Part of a large patch for active regions from Daniel Colascione <dan...@google.com> originally back in 3/2018 Unfortunately it seems there is no way to not enable it. Might indeed be a good idea to ping upstream and/or Daniel Colascione about this. -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a. Pivník, a.k.a. Liskni_si, https://work.lisk.in/
