Subject: [PATCH setup] Don't write garbage into the "extrakeys" user setting
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 21:36:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171127213547.10816-1-kbrown@cornell.edu> (raw)

The ExtraKeysSetting destructor called UserSettings::set() on a string
that was terminated by LF instead of NUL.  This led to garbage at the
end of the "extrakeys" setting that was written into setup.rc.  Fix
this by replacing the final LF by NUL before calling set().
