I just tried to delete the contents of my *shell* buffer with C-x h C-w, because it was getting too big.
The buffer appeared empty, so I guessed it had worked. Later, I tried hitting return to get a new prompt and saw: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 15737454 15737485) add-text-properties(15737454 15737485 (font-lock-face comint-highlight-prompt)) comint-snapshot-last-prompt() comint-send-input() call-interactively(comint-send-input) I couldn't work out what was going on, until I spotted that it said 'Narrow' on the mode-line. Widening the buffer allowed me to carry on working as normal. I don't know how the buffer got narrowed - maybe I didn't type what I thought I did, but rather than the cryptic "args out of range" error, could it say something about how the buffer is narrowed, preventing the mode from functioning properly?
