MC clutters my bash_history file -- how to debug which of my apps interfere with normal operation?

[emk2203]

For some time now, mc clutters my ~/.bash_history file with internal operations. After using mc, the history file contains things like

 bind -x '"\e_":"mc_print_command_buffer"'
 bind -x '"\e+":"echo $BASH_VERSINFO:$READLINE_POINT >&12"'
 if test ${BASH_VERSION%%.*} -ge 5 && [[ ${PROMPT_COMMAND@a} == *a* ]] 2> /dev/null; then    eval "PROMPT_COMMAND+=( 'pwd>&10;kill -STOP $$' )";  else    PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND }'pwd>&10;kill -STOP $$';  fi
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057media\0057spry\0057860QVO\0057img'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057media\0057spry\0057Ventoy'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057media\0057spry\0057860QVO\0057img'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057media\0057spry\0057Ventoy'`"
 mc_print_command_buffer () { printf "%s\\n" "$READLINE_LINE" >&12; }
 bind -x '"\e_":"mc_print_command_buffer"'
 bind -x '"\e+":"echo $BASH_VERSINFO:$READLINE_POINT >&12"'
 if test ${BASH_VERSION%%.*} -ge 5 && [[ ${PROMPT_COMMAND@a} == *a* ]] 2> /dev/null; then    eval "PROMPT_COMMAND+=( 'pwd>&10;kill -STOP $$' )";  else    PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND }'pwd>&10;kill -STOP $$';  fi
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry\0057Documents'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry\0057Documents'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry\0057ref'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry\0057ref'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry\0057edu'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry\0057edu'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry\0057wip'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry\0057doc'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry\0057Documents'`"
 cd "`printf '%b' '\0057home\0057spry'`"

The one thing which I assume is responsible is that I load bash-preexec.sh for proper Atuin execution as follows:

[[ -f ~/.bash-preexec.sh ]] && source ~/.bash-preexec.sh
eval "$(atuin init bash --disable-up-arrow)"

. "$HOME/.atuin/bin/env"

Is there any suggestion how to fix the issue, ideally while keeping all programs and configurations?

Check your HISTCONTROL settings. We rely on spaces before our internal commands to tell the shell that they shouldn't be added to user history.
