Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but it certainly caught me by surprise.
I accidentally created an alias ending with a backslash and a newline today
and the resulting alias proceeded to grab the text on the line _after_ I ran
it. For example:
*$* echo $BASH_VERSION
4.0.33(1)-release
*$* alias x='echo \
*>* '
*$* x
*$* Hello, World!
Hello, World!
**
Is this delayed response expected?
Regards,
Jonathan
