can you please start xev and enter an 's' in the Event Test window?

For me it prints
KeyPress event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
    root 0x48, subw 0x2a00002, time 5886066, (12,57), root:(323,523),
    state 0x0, keycode 39 (keysym 0x73, s), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "s"

If the last line reports an "s" too, the I suspect a problem with the
inputrc file. Can you enter an "s" if the bash is running in a console
window?

bye
