Subject: 28.1; shell-mode corrupts yanked text with zshell
Date: Tue, 06 Sep 2022 15:15:41 -0700

This behavior occurs when yanking commands into a 'shell-mode' buffer.
Could be MacOS specific, I'm not sure.

RECIPE:

1. Start emacs with 'emacs -Q'

2. If necessary, set default shell to zsh (e.g. 'M-: (setq
shell-file-name "/bin/zsh")')

3. Run 'M-x shell'

4. Copy following text to kill ring or to system clipboard:

cat << EOF > sample_request
curl  -X POST https://example.api.com/page/another_page
-H 'x-api-key: MyApiKey'
-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
EOF

5. Yank the text into the shell prompt with 'C-y' or 'M-x
clipboard-yank'. The text should appear normal at this point.

6. Run the command.

7. If command worked as expected, repeat steps 5 and 6. For me, the
first time occasionally works but the second time never exits the
heredoc

8. If the bug occurs, you might need to send "EOF" manually to exit the
heredoc.

9. Examine the contents of 'sample_request'. Mine is corrupted like this:

curl  -X POST https://example.api.com/page/another_page
-H 'x-api-key: MyApiKey'
-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcurl  -X POST httpxx-H 'x-api-key: MyApiKey'
-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxx-H 'authorization: xxxxxx-H 'authorization:


ADDITIONAL NOTES:

- Manually entering this command or yanking line-by-line works fine

- This command works fine with 'sh'. I run into a different problem
doing this with 'bash' but I haven't had time to test it thoroughly.

- I don't think the problem is specific to using a heredoc. I found
this bug when a CURL request worked in my terminal emulator but failed
in Emacs. Wrapping the curl in a heredoc and catting to a file was just
to examine what command was really being run.

- Even if the command works the first time, repeating it with 'M-p'
  (i.e. 'M-x comint-previous-input') fails for me.
