I can't reproduce this with: dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash$ bash --version | head -n1 GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash$ xterm -version XTerm(327) dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash$ lsb_release -d Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.0 (stretch) Can you reproduce the problem using a more recent version. Perphaps try the `devel' branch from git? <https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=bash> -- Eduardo Bustamante https://dualbus.me/
