Subject: variable telnet-remote-echoes non-nil causes comint-previous-prompt to fail
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:36:11 -0400

When running the telnet command, if variable telnet-remote-echoes is
set,  then the command comint-previous-prompt deletes the field text
property that the command comint-previous-prompt uses (assuming that
variable comint-use-prompt-regexp is nil).  It also removes the
mouse-highlighting and so mouse-2 cannot be used to re-insert that
command.

There is no need for variable telnet-remote-echoes because variable
comint-process-echoes can be used to remove the second copy, and it does
it without removing the text properties.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

I tried `M-x telnet' with `telnet-remote-echoes' set (and the other
variables also have the values described), and everything looks normal
to me.

I'm not sure what problem this bug report describes -- I have no mouse
highlight in the *telnet* buffer, and I'm not sure what that has to do
with do with `C-c C-p' (`comint-previous-point').

This is with Emacs 28, though, so perhaps what's being described here
has been fixed in the 11 years since this was reported.

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
