Dear bash maintainers,
bash version 5.3~alpha1-1 in experimental seems to break replacing a
percentage sign in variables. The sign doesn't get removed when replacing:
-8<-
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS='10%'
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10%
pyksy@hanuri:~$ LOSS="${LOSS/\%/}"
pyksy@hanuri:~$ echo "${LOSS}"
10%
...
This bug breaks some of my scripts.
Let me know if I can be of assistance.
Thanks,

Dear Maintainer,
I tried to run a git bisect on the upstream devel branch and found this the
first broken commit:
8418224f32f4dda85019cae063370c18bbd2d036 [1]
And it seems it got later fixed in this commit, unfortunately not yet in a
release.

Related conversations on the upstream mailing list [3].
Kind regards,
Bernhard
