Whizzytex opens passwords

Whizzytex opens passwords

Hi list,

Sorry, quite misleading, my Subject.

I have the following hook in my .emacs in order to conceal passwords to be
typed out clearly in a shell buffer:

(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'comint-watch-for-password-prompt)

Whenever I have worked with Whizzytex, this hook stops functioning and
passwords can be seen clearly on screen until I restart Emacs. Can
anybody reproduce this problem or even has a workaround?

Greetings,

Sven

I can't. But I can report that recent versions of GNU Emacs, version  
22.x, transfers the password prompt into the mini-buffer and there  
nothing is echoed. This works without any hook.

You are right. I deleted the hook on my version 22.1.50.1. But still,
after I launched Whizzytex, passwords are typed clearly in the shell
prompt :-(

Greetings,

Sven

This bit at the end of whizzy-start-process looks suspicious:

     (save-excursion
       (set-buffer buf)
       (setq whizzy-status status)
       (setq comint-output-filter-functions
             (list (function whizzy-filter-output)))
       )

Perhaps that second setq should be replaced by

       (add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'whizzy-filter-output t t)

Hi Kevin

Sorry for the personal cc. But I sent an answer to the list more than
10 hours ago and it didn't appear so far.

This works. Thank you very much. I will hand in a bug report.

Greetings,

Sven
