Regression: SLIME error in the REPL when tab-always-indent is set to 'complete

Regression: SLIME error in the REPL when tab-always-indent is set to 'complete

I believe the behaviour described below was introduced as of
4713dd425beac5cb459704e67dcb8f6faf714375
by Noam Postavsky on the 15'th of March 2017.

If you set ‘tab-always-indent’ to 'complete in the SLIME REPL buffer, then
type an opening parentheses followed by a few letters and press TAB, the
cursor will move to column zero and display an error message: “Text is
read-only”.

This happens in the function ‘lisp-indent-line’, and I believe it was
introduced in the change that I have mentioned above.

Elias

This sounds like Bug#26891, have you tried with an Emacs that includes
the fix for it? [1: 4635016869]

  Make `indent-line-to' respect field boundaries (Bug#26891)

Thank you. This did indeed fix the problem. I had upgraded Emacs to check
if the problem was fixed, but it wasn't. I then took a week or so before I
actually posted about it, and it seems as though the problem was fixed in
the meantime.

Thanks again for your help.

Elias
