Title:
  Plugging the AC adapter in or out causes bash to think that some key
  is pressed

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.

  I expected nothing to happen in bash when I plug in or plug out my  AC adapter.

  Bash thinks that some key is pressed when I plug in or plug out my  AC adapter.
