From: Richard Stallman <rms <at> gnu.org> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 24.2.50; output in nonvisible shell buffer changes prompt Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2012 17:45:00 -0500
I have a shell buffer with a program sending lots of output. That buffer is not currently displayed. I type C-h, and it prompts. So far, so good. The bug is that the prompt changes repeatedly. A space gets added at the beginning and the hyphen disappears at the end. Then the space disappears and the hyphen reappears. This oscillation continues indefinitely at the rate of 3 or 4 changes per second.
