, 0.8.3 r2919) on OS X 10.5.1 when using the up arrow to do history completion after multi-line input (a function def, for example).</div><div><br></div><div>Like this:</div><div><br>
</div><div>#define a silly function or any multi-line statement:</div><div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px"><br>
</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px">In [1]: def foo(s=None):</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3">
<span style="font-size:11px"> ...: if s:</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px"> ...: print 'foo got "%s"' % s
</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px"> ...: return</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3">
<span style="font-size:11px"> ...: print "foo got nuthin'"</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px">
...: </span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3">
<span style="font-size:11px">#play with it:</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px">In [2]: foo('bar')
</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px">foo got "bar"</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3">
<span style="font-size:11px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px">
In [3]: foo()</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px">foo got nuthin'</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3">
<span style="font-size:11px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px">
#When I press the arrow-up key a couple times to edit the function def:</span></font></div><div><font face="Monaco" size="3"><span style="font-size:11px"><br>
</span></font></div><div><span style="font-family:Monaco;font-size:11px"> if s: def foo(s=None): print 'foo got "%s"' % s return print "foo got nuthin'"
</span></div><div><br></div></div><div> </div><div>Notice how the 'def foo(s=None)' is on the same line as the 'if s:'? And once it does this, _all_ arrow-ups are out in the middle of the console and well, generally messed up.
</div><div><br></div><div>You can still use this if you're careful, but it's sketchy.</div><div><br></div><div>Is this a known issue? Someone else recently mentioned to me that they were seeing this as well.
</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Michael</div></span>
