emacs-rails over Tramp

[Ted Zlatanov]

rails.el does a lot of calls that engage Tramp, even for syntax
highlighting.  The effect is that as you type, the cursor will jump to
the end of the buffer a lot, and input will be lost.  This makes the
rails mode unusable over a Tramp connection.  I tested with the latest
rails.el from SVN (svn co svn://rubyforge/var/svn/emacs-rails/trunk
emacs-rails).

I'm not sure if this is a emacs-rails problem or a Tramp problem, but it
seems to me that Tramp should just work or fail gracefully.  Has anyone
else seen this?  I'll file the bug with the emacs-rails bug tracker if
it's not a Tramp issue.
