Thanks for the quick reply. Since this has kind of been fixed, and that the
PgUp/PgDn keys still do not work (but this may be the default) I have marked it
as a Wishlist item. I would suggest to re-enable this functionality permanently
to contact the developers of the package directly and see if they would be
willing to change the defaults back to how they were, i.e. PgUp/Dn.
Glad to see that you found a workaround, will update the description. Thank you
again for helping to make Ubuntu better!

Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
In edgy, one can navigate the command line with control-arrow
(left/right) to jump over words. This is not possible in feisty's gnome-
terminal. Instead it prints a control character as in the following
example:
jos@duet-feisty ~ $ foo;5C;5D;5C;5D
As you can see, it prints a ;5C for ctrl-right and ;5D for ctrl-left.
This makes navigating a long command line cumbersome.

+ ===WORKAROUND===
+
+ I had to create the following ~/.inputrc file to get them to work in
+ Bash:
+
+ $include /etc/inputrc
+
+ # ZYV
+ #
+ # PageUp and PageDown don't work in Ubuntu anymore by default :-(
+ #
+ "\e[6~": end-of-history
+ "\e[5~": beginning-of-history
