Although compiled with use flag "readline" readline isn't available when using sqlite3. Possible workaround is using rlwrap still this is strange. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. fire up sqlite3 2. type some commands 3. hit Arrow-Up key Actual Results: "^[[A" Expected Results: scroll through command buffer
Works for me. What's the version of readline and sqlite3 ? Do you have build log of sqlite3 ?

Seems that this bug can me marked INVALID since readline actually works for me with as root and also after I do "su user" as user. However, readline gets disabled in a login-shell for normal users but not for root and I cannot really figure out why. So this is probably somehow related to settings in bashrc/bash_profile.
