Description:
For a specific command, the result of navigating with 'ALT-b' to go back
one word at a time ends up being wrong. If I make a change after navigating
with 'ALT-b' the text looks correct, but if I then afterwards recall the
command I just executed with "arrow up", I can see that the text change was
different than what I did. I suspect the problem is caused by the
combination of single and double quotes in the last part of the command
(see below).

Repeat-By:
    Execute the following command:
    > curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"
https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/rest-api/check-vat-test-service
-d '{"countryCode":"BE", "vatNumber":"0000000000"}'
    Then use "arrow up" to recall the command and use "ALT-b" to navigate
to 'test-service' and
    change it to 'number'. Execute this command. It will fail and if you
recall it again using "arrow up"
    you should see that the text was changed in the wrong place (offset of
one character).
