If the text is given from script by routine, user don't know that CR/LF
effect this problem.
In unix format text file, you often see ^M in a file. In the case that the
line include ^M like following,
---------------
1+1=
1+2=^M
1+3=
---------------
If you type following in line:2.
:let answer = input("Answer?: ", getline("."))
Most people expect showing prompt. But answer is not 1+2=3 or else.
Answer will be "1+2=".
You may think that "THIS IS NOT A BUG". But there is difference between
input() and inputdialog()
inputdialog() show a gui dialog. then it don't appear this problem.
I guess that this should be fixed.
Of course, I don't beleave my patch is BEST. For example, one of solution
that replace ^M to ^V^M for typeahead.
Thanks.
