I can confirm this in Karmic. This is not because I have other instances
of bash running; "ps x | grep bash" shows only the instance where I'm
typing history -c.
After issuing "history -c" the history no longer can be accessed through
the UP arrow, but ~/.bash_history is intact. If I exit and reopen a bash
session (through gnome-terminal or CTRL-ALT-F1) the history is still
there (now accessible through the UP arrow).
There are two possible workarounds:
history -c; history -w
or
rm ~/.bash_history
** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

"history -c" doesn't clear bash history
