Re: Comint read-only-prompt

[Luc Teirlinck]

I managed to duplicate the "Text is read-only" warning with a
different program.  But if I understand you correctly, if you set
comint-prompt-read-only to nil, you of course no longer get the
warning, but the duplicate input still does not get deleted.  That is
the behavior I observe with my program too (the mathematical software
package GAP).  GAP has a special command line option to get around
this when it is called from within Emacs.

I do not know which situations comint-process-echoes was designed to
handle, so I do not know whether the behavior I observe is a bug in
the comint-process-echoes implementation.

I will take a look at the "Text is read-only" warning.

Sincerely,

Luc.
