bug#21417: Subject: 25.0.50; Paragraph movement in Eshell

[Simen Heggestøyl]

Moving by paragraph in Eshell doesn't work when there's command output

containing newlines. Consider the following case:

~ $ foo

bar

baz

~ $

The user has entered the command "foo", which has put out

"bar\n\nbaz\n". Point is after the second "$".

Now the user hits `C-c C-p' which runs `eshell-previous-prompt', and

point ends up at the blank line between "bar" and "baz", instead of

going back to the previous prompt.

It seems that setting `paragraph-separate' to something else than the

default "[ ]*$" solves the problem, though I'm uncertain what it

should be set to.
