The problem I have is caused by Emacs.lineSpacing: 1 in my X resources (thanks to NickD for help in pinpointing this), which equates to:

(setq-default line-spacing 1)

With that in effect, I call find-file (C-x C-f) and my minibuffer says:

Find file: ~/.Xresources

There I select the file name and call kill-ring-save (M-w). Now my minibuffer says:

Find file: ~/.Xresources [Saved text until: "~/.Xresources"]

How do I stop that appended message and retain a line spacing of 1?

  • What version of emacs are you running? I cannot reproduce it on emacs 29.0.50 from a couple of months ago. – NickD May 18 '22 at 11:41
  • @NickD 27.2, though I see now that 28.1 is out. Mind you, I suspect I did something in my init file that caused this, but I’ve no idea what. http://reluk.ca/.config/emacs/lisp/initialization.el – Michael Allan May 18 '22 at 18:47

    Can't reproduce it on 27.2 either. It's easy to check if your init file is behind this: start emacs with emacs -Q and try to reproduce. If you cannot, then your init file is the culprit: try bisecting it. – NickD May 18 '22 at 19:22
  • @NickD Turns out I had to bisect -Q. The cause is Emacs.lineSpacing: 1 in my X resources, which equates to (setq-default line-spacing 1). But why that causes a recursive echo, I don’t know. – Michael Allan May 24 '22 at 02:25

    When you call find-file the input is read from the Minibuffer, not the Echo-Area. indicate-copied-region emits a message that tells you the region you have copied. That is what you are seeing as text from the Echo Area in the brackets. – Tobias May 25 '22 at 08:39
  • @Tobias, corrected, thank you. – Michael Allan May 26 '22 at 08:03

This works for me:

(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook (lambda () (setq line-spacing 0)))

It’s easier to figure when you know the cause. Again, thanks to NickD for help with that.
