*shell* buffer forgets its limits

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).
