Subject: macros clear echo area
Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 12:55:51 -0700

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

Do this:

C-x C-(
M-! echo hi
C-x C-)
C-x e

and you get in the echo area:
(Type e to repeat macro)
instead of what you used to get:
hi

Also now typing F4 you get an empty echo area (again instead of hi which 
would have made sense).

Also now typing M-x call-last-kbd-macro you get an empty echo area (I'm
supposing you used to get hi, but don't know for sure).

I've fixed this to omit the hint if the echo area is in use.
Thanks.
