In GNU Emacs 19.32.1 (i386-unknown-netbsd1.1B, X toolkit) of Tue Aug 6 1996 on lola-granola
configured using `configure --with-x-toolkit=athena --with-pop --with-kerberos --with-hesiod --with-x --prefix=/afs/zone.mit.edu/test/emacsdev --exec-prefix=/afs/zone.mit.edu/test/emacsdev/arch/i386_nbsd1'
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
It seems to be the case that when a keyboard macro terminates any minibuffer
read terminates with it. For example the following are equivalent:
(local-set-key "X" "\M-xfoobar")
(local-set-key "X" "\M-xfoobar\C-m")
They both give the error "Symbol's function definition is void: foobar"
rather than the former leaving the user at the M-x prompt with the point
after "foobar".
I'm not sure if this is intentional or just deemed not important, but it seems
wrong to me, albeit not terribly critical.
