Subject: bash: setting tab as a control character (like stty kill ^I) then back breaks completion

Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2022 14:21:38 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: bash
Version: 5.1-2+deb11u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Not sure if this is a readline bug, but:
-- >8 --
$ l<TAB>
last lastb lastlog ...
$ l^C
$ stty kill ^I
$ stty sane
-- >8 --
now "l<TAB>" produces l followed by a literal 8-column tab.

Can repro this on sid and bullseye.

Best,
наб
