[Bug 1202760] [NEW] Plugging the AC adapter in or out causes bash to think that some key is pressed

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

What I do:
1. Start interactive bash (either by launching Konsole, or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 and filling login/password).
2. Plug AC adapter in (if it is not plugged) OR plug it out (if it's plugged).

What happens:
Bash asks me "Display all 4354 possibilities? (y or n)".
Actually, it executes the menu-complete command, which is bound on Ctrl+` in my ~/.inputrc ("Ctrl-`: menu-complete").
Never-the-less it's quite strange for bash to accept Plugging-AC-in-or-out as "Ctrl-`".

No other software that I tested (e.g. kate) accepts Plugging-AC-in-or-out as "Ctrl-`".
Note, that it happens both when using bash in Konsole and when using bash on tty1-6.
