[slime-devel] editing previously entered forms causes problems
I checked out SLIME from the CVS repository on 11/24/04. I'm using it on my PowerBook G4 which is running Mac OS X version 10.3.6, emacs version 21.2.1, and CLISP (a recent version, not sure which one precisely). My problem is that when I edit a form that was previously entered, part of it always gets chopped off when I hit enter. For example: CL-USER> (princ 'hello) HELLO HELLO ;; Now I use the arrow keys to go back to the form that was just evaluated ;; and edit it so that it looks like this CL-USER> (princ-to-string 'hello) ;; When I hit enter I get the following CL-USER> 'hello) This happens every time. All text of the form prior to the point of my last edit within the form is chopped off. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Yes, it's a big bug IMHO. But the developers of slime want you to type: M-p and to edit the line in the last position, not above the CL-USER> prompt. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ The world will now reboot; don't bother saving your artefacts.

You can also hit enter to copy down the form to the prompt and edit it there. It's better anyway, because the repl buffer will be a faithful transcript of your interaction with the listener. Andras

Should be fixed in the CVS version. Thank you for the report. Helmut.
