Comint-mime causes the shell prompt to be printed twice.

[hongyi-zhao]

On Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, I use self-compiled git master Emacs, and installed comint-mime via straight's use-package integration as follows:

(use-package comint-mime
  :straight ( :host github
	      :repo "astoff/comint-mime"
	      :files (:defaults "*.py" "*.sh"))

  )

When I issue the M-x shell RET command, I found that comint-mime causes the shell prompt to be printed twice as follows:

Are there any tips for solving this problem?

Yes, this happens intermittently for me as well. It's because of this call:

comint-mime/comint-mime.el

Lines 225 to 229 in 1431605

	(comint-redirect-send-command
	(format " . %s\n" (shell-quote-argument
	(expand-file-name "comint-mime.sh"
	comint-mime-setup-script-dir)))
	nil nil t)))

I'm not quite sure what to do about this, since comint-redirect-send-command is not supposed to print any output. In any case, the extra prompt annoying but doesn't do any harm.

Why not try to discuss it on help-gnu-emacs?

It would be nice to know why and exactly when this happens, but since it doesn't seems to cause any actual problems, I'll close the issue.
