Hi

If I scroll through the bash history and delete everything history
does not show anymore what I typed.
Isn't that a security flaw / convenience bug?

No. Bash history is not an audit or logging mechanism; it exists for the
user's convenience, and under the user's control. The user is free to
delete or edit their command history arbitrarily.
