For example, in vi insert mode, I first enter a command like this: # hello world
Then I press ESC and type cc, the cursor just moves to the beginning (under the char `h') and the whole line is not emptied. If I type more chars after cc, only the first `h' char is replaced and following `ello world' keeps unchanged. Note that other vi mode commands like cw and c$ work fine. I'm using Debian 6.0 (i686) and here's some of my system info: # bash --version GNU bash, version 4.2.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
