[slime-devel] [PATCH] hyperspec.el: strip text properties from suggestion

[Paul Collins]

When point is just after the slime prompt and the user does M-x
hyperspec-lookup, the prompt is inserted into the minibuffer as a
suggestion.  Text properties are retained, and so the user cannot
delete the suggestion or even select the previous history entry.

Here is a patch that corrects this problem by stripping all of the
text properties from the suggestion.  A big hammer, perhaps, but I
don't like seeing randomly-coloured text in the minibuffer anyway.
