1. It seems from a recent conversation on #lisp that pointer selection of presentations in McCLIM doesn't work. Is that correct? Was this made so on purpose, or is it a bug?
2. When I type a command name in the interactor pane, the command is executed, however if I try to accept that command name as a command name, it is NOT acceptable, and mousing on the individual words reveal that each is a separate string-type presentation. Is this a bug? Should the command name somehow be recognizable as a command name? And if so, how might this be accomplished?

Yes. The presentations you see are simply ones created by Drei as part of redisplay (so they are also strings in Climacs, for example). I don't know if the CLIM spec explicitly requires previous input to be presented as the relevant presentation type, but I agree it would be a nice feature.

You need some way of telling Drei that you want the entire output to be presented as some given type. I don't know how it could be handled in Goatee. Another option is to remove the input-editor output after the actual output session is done with and just present the accept result, but then you would lose such things as the Drei-provided syntax-highlighting for previous input of Lisp forms.
