bug#56219: 27.1; ispell-word broken when colorization is turned off

From: "Karl O. Pinc" <kop@karlpinc.com>
To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org
Subject: 27.1; ispell-word broken when colorization is turned off

bug:

Turning colors off breaks "M-x ispell-word".  All but the first
character of the mis-spelled word are left in the buffer, with the
first character replaced with the corrected spelling.  (ispell-region
and ispell-buffer continue to work.)

Features:

Hello,

Steps to reproduce:


Debian stable, bullseye (11.3).  Install the "emacs-nox" package.

Start emacs with: emacs -nw -Q --color=never

You will be in the *scratch* buffer.

Type "bufer", then "M-x ispell-word".  Choose a correction.
(For me, choice 0 is "buffer".)  Note that the first
character of "bufer" is replaced with "buffer", so that after
correction what is left is "bufferufer", with point after the
first "r".


Alternate ways to reproduce.  Any of the following produce the
Using M-$ instead of "M-x ispell-word".

Adding "(set-frame-parameter nil 'tty-color-mode -1)" to '.emacs'.

Adding
(if (not (assoc 'tty-color-mode default-frame-alist))
   (push (cons 'tty-color-mode -1) default-frame-alist))
to '.emacs'.

Adding
(if (not (assoc 'tty-color-mode default-frame-alist))
   (push (cons 'tty-color-mode 'never) default-frame-alist))
to '.emacs'.


I have had this problem a very long time.  (10 years?) And
am only now reporting it.

Thanks.  This is a 15-year-old bug.  Should be fixed now on the master
branch.
