This is a one-line fix for a minor issue in calc-mode. When your last
command has caused the minibuffer to open for input - for example,
you've typed a digit - and you immediately press backspace, it should
clear the minibuffer and return you to *Calculator*. Instead, the
minibuffer is unchanged, and emacs prints the message "Text is
read-only". Note that you can then backspace again to delete the
minibuffer contents as normal; this bug only manifests if you try to
backspace right after the command that puts you in the minibuffer.
The issue is that `calcDigit-backspace' tries to clear the minibuffer with
`erase-buffer', which also tries to delete the prompt, which is
read-only. `delete-minibuffer-contents' would have the desired effect
since it doesn't try to delete the prompt. This change just replaces the
former function with the latter.
