RE: `y-or-n-p' does not wait for input - assumes `n'

       Eval the following code, then open a Customize buffer, click
       State for some
       item, and choose Foo Bar in the State menu. No `y-or-n-p'
       question is asked,
       and "No" appears immediately in the echo area.

    When I evaluated your code, I could not click Foo Bar, because it was
    not active.  (Maybe I did something wrong.)  However:

       In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
        of 2004-07-26 on BERATUNG4

    Does that mean that you are using CVS from July 26?  If so, just
    update your CVS and see whether the bug still occurs.  A very similar
    bug was fixed by a change to xdisp.c on November 17.

Yes, I'm using a CVS binary from July - I can't build Emacs here. However, I
just tried the code again, with the same result (bug), in vanilla Emacs
(-q).

Yes, I forgot to add that you first need to choose Set for Current Session
from the State menu, in order to activate the Foo Bar menu item.

Anyway, Richard tested this with the latest CVS code, and he said that it
works OK (no bug), at least on the platform he used. Thanks for checking. -
