My readline library is libreadline.so.6.3 dated 18 Mar 28 2014
After upgrade to version 7, I am having trouble with the R function in
readline (search for previous input containing a given string). It finds the
previous input and presents that, but when I push one of the cursor keys, the
line goes blank. The cursor will move over that blank space and I can type
input and have the edited lines show up in the history. But editing 'blind'
is not a satisfactory experience.
This is the behavior in a TTY. In an xterm, the cursor key causes the line to
be re-printed starting a few character cells to the left of where it was at
first, and that number of character cells at the end does not get erased. I
can edit that line normally (ignoring those extra characters on the screen).
