translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


Eval the following defcustom in an emacs -q:

(defcustom test '((0 . "abc"))
  "xxx"
  :type '(repeat (choice (cons integer string) string)))

Then do a M-x customize-variable test RET and press the lower INS
button.  The result should look like that (note the "invalid"
list item):

Test: Hide
INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Cons-cell:
            Integer: 0
            String: abc
INS DEL Choice: Value Menu invalid ((0 ))
INS
   State: you have edited the value as text, but you have not set the option.
