Greetings! When I start gdb within emacs (e.g., (gdb "gdb /tmp/hello") ), I find the same behavior described by IvanAndrus in http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DebuggingWithEmacs , namely, entering a command (such as break main ) and pressing RET causes the command to turn bold correctly, but nothing else happens. The program isn't already running, and RET is correclty bound to comint-send-input (I bound another key to comint-send-input and tried that, just to be sure, with the same results). This is happening on
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2010-05-13 on x86-07.phx2.fedoraproject.org
but it does not happen on GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9)
of 2008-05-23 on xenbuilder2.fedora.redhat.com
