Description Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak 2007-09-30 20:17:28 UTC 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mutt-1.4.2.2-3.0.2.el5.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run mutt
2. press / - mutt displays the "Search for:" prompt.
3. press Ctrl-C
  
Actual results:
nothing happens. Only after the next key is pressed, mutt displays the
Ctrl-C question:
"Exit Mutt? ([yes]/no):"
when "no" is chosen, mutt remains in the search mode, but the "Search for:"
prompt is not redrawn, leaving the user confused on what to do next.

Expected results:
mutt should display the "Exit Mutt?" question immediately after Ctrl-C is
pressed. When "no" is chosen, the search string and prompt should be redrawn, or
mutt should leave the search mode altogether (which is what mutt-1.5 does).

Additional info:
mutt-1.5.14-4.fc7 on Fedora system does not have this problem.
vanilla mutt-1.5.16 (from mutt.org), compiled with "./configure
--prefix=/usr/local; make; make install" on RHEL 5 also does not have this problem.

I have tested this only on x86_64 systems (both RHEL 5 and Fedora 7), but since
I don't think an architecture-specific bug is likely, I am leaving the Platform:
tag set to "All".

mutt-1.4.2.2-3.0.2.el5.x86_64 + the patch from comment #1 works for me. Thanks!
