No output if region sent is selected using expand-region

[x3qt]

Hello!

Recently I've started using expand-region with inf-ruby and noticed that output is not shown despite region being successfully evaluated:

My only assumption is that this is happening because position of cursor is kinda unusual in this case, since otherwise it works just fine.

Hi!

Here's a patch you can try:

diff --git a/inf-ruby.el b/inf-ruby.el

                           (point))))
         (end (if (consp where)
                           (cdr where)

LMK if it helps with expand-region, I don't currently have it installed.

Now it works as expected, thanks a lot! 🎉
