This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
read-passwd breaks for me from time to time. If in the *scratch*
buffer I eval (read-passwd "Password: "), I get sent to the minibuffer
and when I'm done typing my password and type RET, the password does
not get accepted. Instead the RET is registered as another '.'. If I
C-g out of it, the *scratch* buffer looks like this:
,----
| (read-passwd "Password: ")
| "nevin
|
|
|
|
|
| "
`----
I cannot list the steps to reproduce this bug, but it happens during
each of my XEmacs sessions. If I quit and restart XEmacs, things
return to normal for some time. My vague idea is that it is somehow
triggered by opening another frame with C-x 5 2.
