Most likely something in your ~/.inputrc file, if you have one. It
could also be in /etc/inputrc (global version of ~/.inputrc), or in
any dot files that are read during shell startup (~/.bashrc or
/etc/bash.bashrc or other files that are sourced or dotted in by one
of these, including profiles if this is a login shell).
In any case, this sounds very much like a readline binding issue,
which points toward inputrc more than anything else.
