[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Start Emacs with "emacs -Q" and type the following in the "*scratch*"
buffer:

  (read-char "char: ")

With the point after the right paren type now "C-x C-e"
(`eval-last-sexp').  If you press this key-sequence slowly, waiting one
second (the value of `echo-keystrokes') between "C-x" and "C-e" the
prompt string ("char: ") will be obscured by the echo area showing the
keystrokes "C-x C-e-" (note the trailing dash!).

I can also reproduce this on 27.2 but not on current master, so let's
assume this has been fixed.

I'm closing this bug with this message.  If anyone can still reproduce
this on current master, please reply back and we can re-open.
