Thread: bug in psql-ref

bug in psql-ref

From
Andreas Seltenreich
Date:
While testing the texinfo target, I noticed the following bug in the
psql reference.  Declaring a printed character as part of the control
sequence is likely to confuse readline about what is on the screen,
causing unreliable line editing.

Patch attached.

regards,
andreas
