Erm... that's not correct (erm.. I assume ^T is the <TAB> character,
right ?). The behaviour you're seeing is intentional (and not a bug).
<TAB> is used to do a completion... if there a more than one choice
then a 2nd <TAB> will display the list and you enter the "list choice
mode" ... any further <TAB> in "list choice mode" redisplys the list
of choices.
You can exit the "list choice mode" by entering anything except a
number, <ENTER> or <TAB>.
Note that special characters like { <TAB>, <ENTER>, <ESC> ... } can
only be entered directly as characters using <CTRL-V><character>. This
is the same behaviour as in bash4.
