Fixes: debbugs:20084
* lisp/font-lock.el (font-lock--remove-face-from-text-property): New
function. Adapted from the previously commented out
remove-single-text-property.
Remove previously unused and commented out auxiliary function
remove-text-property and obsolete comment.
* lisp/comint.el (comint-output-filter): Use it to remove
comint-highlight-prompt.
(comint-snapshot-last-prompt, comint-output-filter): Use
font-lock-prepend-text-property for comint-highlight-prompt.
* test/automated/textprop-tests.el: New file.
(textprop-tests-font-lock--remove-face-from-text-property): New test.
Thus, the original face text property of a prompt "candidate" (the
last line of an output chunk not ending with a newline) is
preserved. This amends the fix for bug#14744.
