Yet it is the same problem.  The fact that these bugs use simple examples 
(presumably because their authors did not yet investigate the more complex

they clearly say: "the prompt is not visible".

I agree to disagree.

Please tell me when you and Stefan agree on a better / the best way to 
solve the current problem.  I'll be silent till then.
