Subject: bug#58542: 29.0.50; "C-h q" leaves misleading message in the echo-area
Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2022 12:29:34 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <83a65x77up.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
To reproduce:
emacs -Q
C-h q
C-h
q
That is, wait for some time between the second C-h and the following
"q". You will then be left with this message in the echo-area:
C-h (Type ? for further options) q
This is misleading, since we are no longer at the C-h prompt. E.g.,
typing "?" at this point will just insert it into the current buffer.
