Weird in Shell Prompt

Hi,

I saw something in weird in Shell prompt.
I did the following steps

1) Typed ls -l and pressed ESC without entering
2) Typed "v" (please notice that I did not type "i" after "v"), which opened vi editor
3) I see the "ls -l" command that I typed in shell prompt
4) Without modifying anything or changing anything, I quit the vi editor
5) All I could see the list of files - without typing the command.

Can anyone explain about this weird behaviour.
