R help - Apr 2014 - Navigating history (arrow keys) and command completion (tab key) do not work

Dear R experts:

I have updated my R yesterday to version 3.1 and the usual command line
navigation in R stopped working. Specifically, tab key moves the cursor and
does not compete a command, up-arrow key produces "^[[A", instead of
recalling the last command, similarly for other keys. I cannot even edit a
command as the left and right keys do not move the cursor.

My OS is Fedora 20 (everything is fine on my other machine with Debian).

Thank you for any hints.
​Josef​
