Typing '= in a WXGUI Command prompt results in a ValueError

[marisn]

Steps to reproduce: in command prompt type in (not copy'n'paste!) following command: d.vect map=mymap where='foo=1'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/maris/soft/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-
linux-gnu/etc/gui/wxpython/gui_core/prompt.py", line 978, in

raise ValueError, "No closing quotation"

No closing quotation

(Just a rant. AAAGH! When finally it will be possible to copy data from command prompt and output pane WXGUI like in any other X11 app by simple selection?!? Real pain as WXGUI is the only app ignoring this X11 principle and tricking user to paste different content than expected.)

Fixed in r53298 and backported (r53299, r53300). Please close the ticket after testing. About the copy and paste thing, I'm quite sure there is already a ticket opened.

I fully agree -that's to my knowledge a wxPython non-feature. See ticket #1472.
