Subject: 31.0.50; M-x shell echos
Date: Fri, 02 Jan 2026 18:24:23 +0000

Hi,

using "emacs -Q", M-x shell appears to echo the command being executed
before executing it.  I do not think that this was the default
behaviour, but I cannot find the source of the regression.

Never mind, I figured out the issue was that I was playing around with
"stty sane" in my .bashrc and that apparently caused the regression.
Sorry for the noise!
