Subject: bug#7014: 23.2; `C-h c' command doesn't show the info when invoked from the minibuffer
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2010 21:22:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTikeat3e7w5Z8AeMXg7XTgXksa63evJVpLyyp6yx@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

Try the following:
1.- Start emacs (anyhow).
2.- Type `C-x C-f'.
3.- Now, from the minibuffer, type `C-h c' --> Here, Emacs prompts me
for a key to describe. OK.
4.- Type `C-n' (for example). --> Now Emacs should show me the
description of the `C-n' key (*), but that doesn't happens. Instead,
after a couple of seconds, the minibuffer comes back with the prompt
of the `find-file' command.



(*) Look at the Emacs manual, chapter 8 ("The Minibuffer"):
>   Since the minibuffer appears in the echo area, it can conflict with
> other uses of the echo area.  If an error occurs while the minibuffer
> is active, the error message hides the minibuffer for a few seconds, or
> until you type something; then the minibuffer comes back.  If a command
> such as `C-x =' needs to display a message in the echo area, the
> message hides the minibuffer for a few seconds, or until you type
> something; then the minibuffer comes back.  While the minibuffer is in
> use, keystrokes do not echo.


Thanks in advance. Dani.
