Is your history set to line mode or command mode? This changes whether

i dunno of such modes
i run bash 5.2.15 by termux.apk package
i deleted all bash n profile files

then 1. when i c-r or arrow up to PS1 ..
the cmd is PS1=' $PWD

the cmd is not finished ...

else
it shows same symptons

bash-5.2$ PS1=' $PWD
> '
 /data/data/com.termux/files/home
PS1=' $PWD
> '
 /data/data/com.termux/files/home

: cmd

i dont know of history mode changes
. in earlier ( somewhen ) this was working ( complete cmd and no newline
miss on PS2 )

to me its just where cmd gets parsed , some misconfigurement , that doesnt
pass the \n to subvar

greets
