bug#19531: 25.0.50; Extra characters in keypress input (related to #18345)

[Greg Smolyn]

Ok, adding instructions:

1. Create the following file as "buginit.el" (or whatever you want to call it):

(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")

 ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")

 ))

(setq user-emacs-directory "~/bug.emacs") ; just to get a clean user dir

(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)

(package-initialize)

(require 'helm-config)

(projectile-global-mode)

(setq projectile-enable-caching t)

(setq projectile-completion-system 'helm)

(helm-projectile-on)

2. Run emacs: emacs -Q -l buginit.el

Install Helm Projectile: 

(alternatively I can supply all the files for the elpa folder in the bug.emacs in a file drop somewhere)

3. M-x package-install

4. When it asks what to install, use "helm-projectile"

5. Quit emacs.

6. Run emacs again: emacs -Q -l buginit.el

7. Find a sufficiently large project, I am not sure exactly what makes the project big enough (or if there is something else like large file names or deep directory structure), however the Emacs codebase is not sufficient.  A project i can always repro with can be retrieved with:

git clone https://github.com/forcedotcom/aura.git

8. Open a file in the Aura project, any file will do (LICENSE, for example). In emacs, C-x f ~/path_to_aura/LICENSE

9. Open the helm-projectile minibuffer: C-c p f

    or M-x helm-projectile-find-file

10. Start typing:  I find "infiniteScrollerTest" should cause it to break and produce extra characters.  

Hope this is helpful!

If you look at the repro in #18345, it is the same scenario when Simon
Carter removed the emacs_abort() in the apploopnr > 1 check.  I get
extra characters in the input.

There was no step by step instructions there either.

Should I perhaps reopen that bug instead?

This is fone.

Unfortunately I don't know entirely how to do this without helm
projectile.  Would you like me to send instructions on how to set it up
for a reproduction case?  I am more than happy to do that.

Put the instructions here where they belong.
It is good for future reference.
