Q5.0.14: Strange things are happening in Shell Mode.

Sometimes (i.e. it’s not repeatable, and I can’t work out why it happens) when I’m typing into shell mode, I hit return and only a portion of the command is given to the shell, and a blank prompt is returned. If I hit return again, the rest of the previous command is given to the shell.

if ( "$TERM" == emacs || "$TERM" == unknown ) unset filec
