bug#72593: hui:menu-choose: Wrong type argument: characterp, 176160776

[Robert Weiner]

I ran a raw Emacs 29.4 with Hyperbole 9.0.1 and the minibuffer menu worked fine without error.

The problem is that you are producing something from your keyboard that is not a valid character that doesn't normally happen.  My guess it is related to another package that you'll have to find and eliminate.  Try {C-h l} to see what your prior keystrokes were before this gets triggered.  Does the minibuffer menu fail in all cases for you, everytime you press normal letter keys?  -- rsw

I tried versions 9.0.1 from elpa and 20240811.524 from melpa - same
issue. Is there anything else I can try?
