font-lock applied to comint prompts

[Michael Mauger]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


* emacs -Q
* M-x shell RET
(assuming sh-type command interpreter)
* in *shell* buffer: 

  $ PS1='x -y $ '
  x -y $ ls -l >/dev/null
  x -y $ 

Once the ls command is entered on the second line, the -y in the
prompt gets highlighted the same way that the -l in the ls command
gets highlighted.  

doing `C-u C-x =' on the `y' in the prompt on the last line gives:
    character: y (121, #o171, #x79, U+0079)
      charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
   code point: #x79
       syntax: w        which means: word
     category: a:ASCII l:Latin
  buffer code: #x79
    file code: #x79 (encoded by coding system iso-latin-1-unix)
      display: by this font (glyph code)
       -outline-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-normal-i-normal-normal-11-82-96-96-c-*-
iso8859-1 (#x79)

  There is an overlay here:
   From 240 to 247
    font-lock-face       comint-highlight-prompt


  There are text properties here:
    face                 font-lock-comment-face
    field                output
    fontified            t
    inhibit-line-move-field-capture t
    rear-nonsticky       t

Doing the same on the second, now fontified, prompt gives:
    character: y (121, #o171, #x79, U+0079)
      charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
   code point: #x79
       syntax: w        which means: word
     category: a:ASCII l:Latin
  buffer code: #x79
    file code: #x79 (encoded by coding system iso-latin-1-unix)
      display: by this font (glyph code)
       -outline-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-normal-r-normal-normal-11-82-96-96-c-*-
iso8859-1 (#x79)

  There are text properties here:
    face                 font-lock-comment-face
    field                output
    font-lock-face       comint-highlight-prompt
    fontified            t
    inhibit-line-move-field-capture t
    rear-nonsticky       t

I've seen this in other comint-like buffers as well (*sql*).  Is there
a way to protect/prevent the prompt string from being font-lock'd?




If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
c:/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
