Moving by paragraph in Eshell doesn't work when there's command output
containing newlines. Consider the following case:
~ $ foo
bar
baz
~ $
The user has entered the command "foo", which has put out
"bar\n\nbaz\n". Point is after the second "$".
Now the user hits `C-c C-p' which runs `eshell-previous-prompt', and
point ends up at the blank line between "bar" and "baz", instead of
going back to the previous prompt.
It seems that setting `paragraph-separate' to something else than the
default "[ \f]*$" solves the problem, though I'm uncertain what it
should be set to.

I'm unable to reproduce this on current master. I tried:
0. emacs -Q
1. M-x eshell
2. emacs --help
3. C-c C-p
At the last command, point correctly moved to the previous prompt.
Can you reproduce this on Emacs 27 or 26? If yes, could you please
provide more details on how to reproduce it?
Perhaps there is something in the output of the particular command you
used that confused Eshell? That's just a wild guess, though.
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
