Re: bash 5.0.2(1) multiline command in history bug

[Jason Vas Dias]

Thank you, but it definitely happens in the up-to-date MacPorts
bash-5.0.2(1) distribution,
I'll try looking at their patches, building a completely unpatched 5.0.2, and
contact the MacPorts developers to let them know if it is a problem with their
patches. It uses Apple's EditLine, not readline, which could be something to do
with it.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Jason
