message still stays in the minibuffer #331

Closed jidanni closed 6 years ago

jidanni commented 6 years ago

Start circe offline, it cannot connect, so go to the buffer and do C-x k

Really kill all buffers of this server? (if not, try `circe-reconnect') (y or n) y

but that message still stays there in the minibuffer! (circe-version)"Circe 2.6"(emacs-version)"GNU Emacs 25.2.2...

Yes, that's the nature of the echo area (it's only called the minibuffer if you edit text in it), the displayed text stays there until replaced by another one or executing a command. This isn't a Circe bug at all, just standard Emacs behavior.

jidanni commented 6 years ago

Try this experiment,

$ emacs
C-x k

You will see the message

Kill buffer (default ...):

and when you answer "y", poof, buffer and message both gone!

That is the correct way.

I can't reproduce that here actually:

jidanni commented 6 years ago 
# su - nobody #or just us another pristine account
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
nobody@jidanni6:/$ emacs -nw
C-x k

Circe uses the built-in y-or-n-p method. If you feel this method should clean out the echo area after reading the response, please file a bug report with Emacs itself.

OK, made https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30587 .
