sqlite 3.34 Command-line editor

I've posted this issue previously but had no results, so trying again with a different title.

I work on an old iMac 10.13.6 (High Sierra) and sqlite3 is a system-installed application. However I installed a newer version (3.34) but am having some issues with navigating a command-line - moving left and/or right through the line.

Previously I could use Alt-left arrow or Alt-right arrow to move quickly from one word to another.

With this new version that does not work, but gives me a series of 'bbbbb' or 'fffff' and does NOT move my cursor.

My shell is bash if that makes any difference, but I don't know if that is the issue.

Has anyone else had the same experience, or does anyone have a solution please?
