I have got an HP 2392 A working here.
In it´s menu there´s an option to switch editing/line editing on or off.
If one of these is on, login has the same behaviour as you describe it.

Like the genre it is meant to satirize my article is a mélange of
truths, half-truths, quarter-truths, falsehoods, non sequiturs, and
syntactically correct sentences that have no meaning
