Subject: bug#62682: 30.0.50; comint-clear-buffer should have a (move-end-of-line nil) at the end
Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2023 10:44:35 +0300

Is having a (move-end-f-line nil) in comint-clear-buffer wise?

What are the other use-cases of comint-clear-buffer? It
makes sense for IELM or Terminal buffers, but we need to
identify other use-cases of this, before we push a fix.
