bug#607: 23.0.60; grep -w & grep-highlight-matches

[G.W.Pigman III]

After I add '-w' to the grep arguments, next-error in *grep* can't
open the file, apparently because some sort of terminal code is
prepended to the filename (e.g. [00m/Users/gwp/.emacs).  Oddly
enough, next-error works the first time it is called, but not
subsequently.

I can't reproduce this.  Here's what I tried:

emacs -q
M-x grep RET
DEL DEL w article ~/*
   [minibuffer contains `grep -nH -w article ~/*']
RET
C-x `
C-x `
C-x `

Each of these calls to next-error correctly send me to subsequent
occurrences of the word "article" in files in my home directory.

Could you provide a more detailed recipe to demonstrate the problem?

This report is being closed because it relates to what is now an old
pretest of Emacs 23.1, and the problem could not be reproduced.
If you still see the problem with the latest release, 23.3, please reply
with as much detail as you can and the report can be re-opened.
