[gentoo-user] bash-3.* ignores the first press of Shift+M

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hi all,

This is absurd, but when in bash-3.1_p17 I press Shift+M, the "M" 
only appears the moment I press another key.  This happens both in 
Konsole and on a VT.  And also in xterm and rxvt.

It happens also in bash-3.1_p14 and bash-3.0-r14.  And sash-3.7-r1.  
But _not_ in bash-2.05b-r11, nor in tcsh-6.14-r3, nor in zsh-4.2.5.  
Also typing in vim or nano works fine, and in KMail and KWrite and 
Firefox and Konqueror.  So this is purely a problem of the bash-3.* 
series.

I tried different CFLAGS (-O2 instead of -Os), a different compiler 
(gcc-3.3.6-vanilla instead of 3.4.6-hardened), no difference.  I've 
tried starting bash with '--noprofile --norc', even with 'env -i', 
it all makes no difference: any first press of Shift+M does not 
show an M; only the next keypress makes the M appear.

Is anyone else seeing this?  Or am I going bananas?

Benno
