history-search-forward and history-search-backward seem also buggy, but it may be a documentation issue (they behave in a slightly different way). These issues are still present in readline. I've just reported the following bug against libreadline8t64 for \C-u: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1078428 (the old bugs in obsolete readline binary packages had been closed). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
