[Bug 1448655] [NEW] ash in rescue shell doesn't allow insertion into previous commands

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

When one presses <kbd>Arrow up</kbd> and wants to insert a character in
a previously entered command, the part of the command after the cursor
position is copied and inserted as well. This makes it impossible to
reuse commands.
