bug#725: 23.0.60; Tramp mode prompt doesn't take enter key (only C-M)

[Robert Casties]

The Tramp mode prompt for a password doesn't take the enter key to close 
the prompt and proceed. Using C-M works.

The problem persists in the Cocoa-builds for a few days (last checked 
2008-08-15). The last known good version was 2008-07-31 but I didn't 
build every day.

bug#729: 23.0.60; RET doesn't DTRT in read-char-exclusive on the Mac OS X --with-ns port

[Teodor Zlatanov]

I found the problem while trying to use `read-passwd', which calls
`read-char-exclusive'.  Hitting RET is not registered correctly by
`read-char-exclusive' as it's called from `read-passwd' (it seems to
extend the input field downwards as if it was a multiline input field)
and so `read-passwd' doesn't terminate.  A workaround is to press C-m
in the input field.  This breaks EPA functionality when passphrases
are needed, and probably more packages as well.

Test with:

I cannot reproduce it under GNU/Linux (Ubuntu intrepid). The relevant
files, especially subr.el (function read-passwd), do not show a change
here.

I have no idea, whether it is an ns-* specific change, or something in
simple.el (handling RET), which causes the trouble.

Best regards, Michael.
