I do A LOT of computing from terminals... and use arrow up and down
ALL THE TIME.. Autocomplete would so ROCK!
My history is inconsistently reflected because I open SO MANY windows
all day every day.. The most recent history that comes up seems to
depend on what terminal was closed last during the last session..
But that's every day, that's not *months* worth so it's not really any
help in your case.. Still thought I'd mention it with the thought
being it might help ease someone's mind out there as you discuss
what's going on with yours.. :)

PS A little tip: For anyone who hasn't discovered it yet, CTRL+SHIFT+T
is a keyboard shortcut to bring up a terminal in some Debian based
distros out there.
