I'm seeing some strange behavior and don't know if it's a bug or intended. Reproducer: 1. env INPUTRC=/dev/null bash --norc 2. set -o vi 3. true --foo=bar 4. up arrow, then left arrow to put the cursor on the equals sign 5. press ctrl-w, nothing happens
I bisected master and found it was introduced in 4.4. Then I bisected devel and found it was introduced by http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?h=devel&id=ccb4014f23204c5d6996dd64b5d0c824ae27469b If this is intentional then I'd be curious about the rationale. Thanks, Aron
