Re: [Bug: 21.4.19] point forced to bottom of shell buffer on output

Suppose I start a shell buffer and start a command that generates continuing output: $ while true; do date; sleep 5; done Mon Jul 3 11:28:05 PDT 2006 Mon Jul 3 11:28:10 PDT 2006 Mon Jul 3 11:28:15 PDT 2006 Mon Jul 3 11:28:20 PDT 2006 If, during the 5-second pause, I move point to the first date output, I expect point to stay there, and for each successive "date" command to append its output to the end of the buffer. And that's the behavior I get with the xemacs-base 2.03 package. But if I use the xemacs-base 2.06 package, point is forced back to the bottom of the buffer the next time "date" runs. I assume that this has something to do with the new version of comint. I took a quick look at the customizable comint variables, and I see that comint-move-point-for-output is nil.
