Hi Anton,

I forwarded this bug report upstream to also know his POV. While he applied
your patch he thinks this is related to yet another problem in BSD
libedit, quoting upstream:

Sender: sfeam

  If the patch fixes this problem, then it clearly must have something to
  do with use of the BSD libedit for input. Probably we should deprecate
  this anyhow, since libedit can't handle UTF-8 and has other deficiencies
  as well. Either gnu libreadline or gnuplot's own readline equivalent are
  better choices at this point. Note that in version 4.6, several
  weaknesses of the builtin readline equivalent have been removed. I don't
  think there is a good case for choosing libedit any more.

Regards,
