If this bug is still present, please reopen. commit afe2997119a5e6b108851f2e236037da1d4acef2 Author: Philipp Stephani Date: Thu Oct 27 00:28:34 2016 +0200 Comint: new user option for C-c M-r and C-c M-s This option allows the user to specify where to place point after these commands. * comint.el (comint-move-point-for-matching-input): New user option.
