Subject: 23.0.60; RET doesn't DTRT in read-char-exclusive on the Mac OS X --with-ns port
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 08:25:02 -0500

I found the problem while trying to use `read-passwd', which calls
`read-char-exclusive'.  Hitting RET is not registered correctly by
`read-char-exclusive' as it's called from `read-passwd' (it seems to
extend the input field downwards as if it was a multiline input field)
and so `read-passwd' doesn't terminate.  A workaround is to press C-m
in the input field.  This breaks EPA functionality when passphrases
are needed, and probably more packages as well.

Test with:



In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.8 (i386-apple-darwin9.4.0, *Step 9.0)
 of 2008-08-16 on mungo
