>Description:
After upgrade to RELENG_7 I noticed that vi-mode in bash(1) does not quite work as it used to.  If I want to move through history (in emacs-mode this is done using up/down arrows), I hit ESC and then "j" or "k".  Before upgrading I just pressed "j"/"k" immediately after ESC; now I have to wait a short time (half a second, maybe?), otherwise it will beep at me.

This happens under screen(1) running under xterm.  Same happens with ksh.  It does not happen without screen(1).  It does not happen when logging via ssh to RELENG_6 system and running bash under screen there.  Both have the same screen version (screen-4.0.3_1).
