Package: bash
Version: 4.1-3
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
After using the up key, "!string" history expansion is wrong.
To reproduce:
% echo foo
foo
% :
% echo bar
bar
%
Now press the "up" key two times to get to the ":", delete the ":"
and type "!e":
% !e
echo foo
foo
The bash manpage says:
!string
Refer to the most recent command starting with string.
and that's also what I'd expect intuitively, so it always confuses
me when "!string" does not expand to the most recent command
starting with string (which in the example would be "echo bar"), but
the one before the command that I select with "up".
