The same happened with bash compiled by myself.
A workaround is to append this to
/etc/inputrc:
Code: Select all
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line # Home Key
"\e[4~": end-of-line # End Key

Another, even more annoying, issue with Slackware's bash binary: when I am typing a long line, that exceeds the right margin, it no longer wraps to the next line, but instead some maddening, horizontal scroll mode turns on.
It's impossible to highlight & copy such over-extended line!
Ok, it took me some time and nerves, but long story short: after I compiled bash with
'--with-curses' (also literally) both issues are gone.
