I don't understand why these two different ways to use the same command lead to different behaviors.

I've installed fzf and fd and have the following lines in .bashrc

function updir()
 cd ..

function overdir() fzf`

function downdir() fzf`


bind -x '"C-i":"updir"'
bind -x '"C-j":"overdir"'
bind -x '"C-l":"downdir"'

export PS1="[u@h:W]$ "

If I type overdir in the shell I can type a pattern and go to a directory as expected, and the current working directory updates in the prompt, like so

[davidlittle@deus1:~]$ overdir
[davidlittle@deus1:googledrive]$ overdir
[davidlittle@deus1:Preferences]$

Note that inbetween these prompts an fzf window is revealed, I select a directory, and then the view returns to what is shown above. However, if I do the same thing using the bound shortcut "C-j" instead of , now I get something different:

[davidlittle@deus1:Preferences]$
[davidlittle@deus1:Preferences]$ ls
%Users%davidlittle%googledrive%Preferences%vscode%settings.json keybindings.json settings.json
[davidlittle@deus1:vscode]$

As you can see the directory listed in the prompt is Preferences on line 2. But this was after hitting C-j and selecting the vscode directory. Once I call ls the correct directory is shown in the prompt.

The expected behavior is that line 2 of the second example should display vscode not Preferences.

What's going wrong???
