Hello!
The *shell* buffer somehow introduces extra attributes or other strange
things that make it quite unusable. Yesterday I copied a string form
somewhere and in shell it was fontified as bold. Whenever I tried to
paste (yank) with mouse yet another word between them the whole old
sequence was high-lighted and replaced with the new word. I had to
remove all text and face properties.
Another phenomenon is that the command line's end or beginning seem to
be unreachable with C-e or C-a. End or beginning lie somewhere in the
command line. An example:
From tcsh's history function I copied with mouse a command (foreach
Glyph ( `cat ISO\ 8859-2.txt | grep -v '^;' | sed -e 's/ / /g' | cut -n
-f 9 | cut -b 3-` ) ; grep $Glyph
/Volumes/Halde/Schrift/Unicode/aglv2.0.txt ; end). On the command line
this command starts according to C-a at "2" in the cat'es file's name,
the end exists more than once, for example in the sed expressions TAB
(s/SPC/TAB/g). When I enter with mouse the remainder of the command
line, the end now is at the closing ")" -- and it's the line's
beginning too because C-a does not move the cursor to another place.
Pressing now return I get the command repeated and a message:
foreach Glyph ( `cat ISO\ 8859-16.txt | grep -v '^;' | sed -e 's/ /
s/ / not found
The original command has become high-lighted
([comint-highlight-input]). Closing the shell buffer and opening new
ones does not help, clearing the sed expression in *scratch* buffer
does not help, today sed is broken (yesterday it worked to create a few
PostScript encodings that way).
