In my .inputrc, I have M-j and M-l bound to backward-char and forward-char, respectively. With Bash 4.1.5 and libreadline-6.1-1 on Ubuntu 10.04.1 (Lucid), when I'm incrementally searching through the history and press one of these keys, the cursor moves according to the key, and I'm taken out of the search mode.
With Bash 4.2.8 and libreadline 6.2-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty), these keys are ignored. It's possible that this bug was inadvertently introduced in the fix that allowed Meta-prefixed keybindings to reverse/forward-search-history to advance to the next match when pressed while in the search mode. [1] The problem is that now the next-match key works, but all other Meta-prefixed keybindings are ignored.
