Hi,

when my history has the lines
echo a
echo b
echo c
and I press three times the up-button, I can ues operate-and-get-next
(Ctrl-O) to execute "echo a" and have the prompt display "echo b" and so
on.

But if I jump to the "echo a" line using history-search-backward,
pressing Ctrl-O gives me an empty line. I’d expect the baviour of
history-search-backward match that of moving to that point in history
via "up".

Thanks,
Joachim
