SEDIT doesn't always recognize minus sign

(EDITE '(A B))

Click between A and B, type -1 (minus 1). You will see 1 instead of -1: (A 1 B)

This appears to be a problem with keyboard type-in. If you shift-select a minus sign from some place else (e.g. in the middle of an atom somewhere) or if you paste it from the clipboard, then it shows up. But if you type it as the first character of an atom, it is ignored.

What did you do differently from this?

That's what I did, minus doesn't show. But, if I start up with nogreet, then the -1 does appear. So I'll look to see what I might be loading that is not in the full

Still happens from time to time.
