Package: bc Version: 1.06.95-9+b3 Severity: minor Steps to reproduce:
1. Run bc with no arguments 2. Type some decimal digits, "3939" say, and do not hit return. 3. Press ^C to cancel the half-written command 4. Press ^D to try to quit bc Expected behaviour: bc silently exits. Observed behaviour: ^D is ignored. Hitting return (maybe after typing some other valid expression) gets out of the weird state. Note that this is *not* a result of efforts to treat ^D as "delete to right" since: 1. Type some decimal digts, "3939" say 2. Go to start of line with ^A 3. Press ^D four times, to delete the four digits 4. Press ^D a fifth time. bc exits. This is perhaps justifiable. So whether ^D exits seems to depend on whether ^C was used, not on whether the input line is empty. This doesn't seem sensible. Weirdly, though, ^C on an empty command does not produce the ^D-does-not-work state. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.9 APT prefers oldstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-debug'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-0.bpo.5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages bc depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u4 ii libreadline7 7.0-3 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20161126-1+deb9u2 bc recommends no packages. bc suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
