internal command cd ; additional arguments are not ignored
Configuration Information [Automatically generated, do not change]: Machine: amd64 OS: freebsd12.3 Compiler: cc Compilation CFLAGS: -O2 -pipe -fno-omit-frame-pointer -DLIBICONV_PLUG -fstack-protector-strong -isystem /usr/local/include -fno-strict-aliasing uname output: FreeBSD bxlr.sk 12.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 12.3-RELEASE releng/12.3-n1-70cb68e7a BXLR amd64 Machine Type: amd64-portbld-freebsd12.3 Bash Version: 5.1 Patch Level: 16 Release Status: release Description: Bash internal command cd doesn't ignore additional arguments following dir as stated in its man page. This is not OS dependent, reproducible on Linux/FreeBSD since version 4.4. Repeat-By: $ cd /tmp /root -bash: cd: too many arguments While cd-ing to more dirs doesn't make sense this issue was discovered by some bad regex in SAP profiles. bash before 4.4 was silently ignoring this. If this is expected behavior man page should be updated as those arguments are not ignored any more. martin
Re: UP does not invoke line history immediately

I can't reproduce this. The only thing I can think of is that the newline gets added to the key sequence, so it doesn't match the arrow key. Readline uses a timeout to determine whether input is to be considered part of the current accumulating key sequence, but even when I press newline much less than half a second (the default timeout) after the up arrow, I don't get your results. If you want to try to reproduce it reliably, the readline variable "keyseq-timeout", specified in milliseconds, is what readline uses to distinguish whether input should be added to the current key sequence. You could try setting it to different values. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRUc...@case.eduhttp://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
