when modify mail filter fetch from history will clear old filter about neomutt HOT 6 CLOSED

confirm，it's ok, thx;
now i press up to avoid killing the line.

from neomutt.

I can't reproduce that. Recalling a previous filter and appending to it works fine here. What do you mean exactly by

in actual , old one "~f bob@tom" was cleared which is not my purpose;\

What if you recall the second filter, doesn't it show ~f bob@tom ~s pay bill?

from neomutt.

Sorry, maybe I didn't state it clearly enough;
when i use filter like "~f bob", it works fine, then i want add some filter such as " ~s bill"
i will recall the filter, and it will show the last filter, "~f bob" in this case, and then i input space , then "~f bob" will be cleared.

from neomutt.

oh, so the act of pressing the space key after having recalled the history clears the line.

• Is this reproducible with the latest version?
• Can you please report the bindings that include <Space> from the :bind output?

from neomutt.

yeah, currently, my bind alia: bind alias <Space> tag-entry
is this why it clears the filter?

from neomutt.

Ah! I had an epiphany and I now understand what you are describing.
Please can you be very precise about the sequence of actions you take? I can reproduce what you're seeing with this:

1. press l to enter limit, then enter ~f bob
2. press l to enter limit again
3. do not press Up to recall the previous ~f bob limit, NeoMutt suggests that for you already
4. press space to add to the previous limit
5. the line is killed

This is expected. Pressing any character kills the previous filter so you can enter a new one. If you do press Up at point 3, then you still see ~f bob but a space doesn't kill the line.

Can you please confirm?
