Delete history item > choose history item > history -r execution in wild

[dvorka]

Repro:

• start HSTR
• delete any history item
• choose any history item using Enter

... and after selected item is executed also history -r. See also #348.

I can verify this bug as well, but I am confused, because on my machine history -r does nothing.

Can someone please explain which version of history has the option of -r?

I see a man page that describes -r here: https://ss64.com/bash/history.html

However, I do not know which version that is or where to get that version of history?

When I run man history on my Debian machine, I receive the following man page which has NO reference of -r: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/history.3.html

It appears the version of history I have is GNU History 6.3. How do I get the version of history which has history -r? Is that installed on other distributions of Linux?

If I type which history I receive no output as well which is also strange.

This is on Debian 9/stretch.

I tried to build the dev/2.4.0 branch (commit 7d984e4), but the problem remains.

@dvorka I just tested this and the problem is still present in hstr 2.5.

Bump. I made #457 to fix this.
