edit-and-execute-command interrupted by SIGTSTP

I've been using bash's [edit-and-execute-command function](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/tree/bashline.c?id=3ba697465bc74fab513a26dea700cc82e9f4724e#n935) : > **edit-and-execute-command (C-x C-e)** > > Invoke an editor on the current command line, and execute the result as shell commands. Bash attempts to invoke $VISUAL, $EDITOR, and emacs as the editor, in that order. https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Miscellaneous-Commands.html I've noticed that if I invoke an editor, use Ctrl-Z to put it into the background, and then use fg to put it back into the foreground, the shell no longer executes the temporary file. This is handy if I want to abort the command, but I found the behavior a little surprising the first time it happened. My questions: - Why does this happen? I know from the source code that [edit_and_execute_command eventually calls fc](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/tree/bashline.c?id=3ba697465bc74fab513a26dea700cc82e9f4724e#n957) , but it's not immediately clear to me *why* sending SIGTSTP prevents bash from executing the temporary file. - If I had accidentally hit Ctrl-Z and still wanted to execute the script in the temporary file still open by the editor, what would be the best way of doing that?
