Thank you for fixing it so quickly.

Thanks Kim. Emacs is full of surprises. I would be glad for an
explanation of what happens with non-ASCII text.

Are there any other properties that could interfere with non-ASCII
text? Could other properties from minibuffer-prompt-properties still
be applied to the isearch prompt?

I realized the problem is irrelevant to non-ASCII text.  The
cause is simply that the prompt string, the first argument,
given to `read-from-minibuffer' has the `read-only' property.
For instance, the following form causes the same error:

(read-from-minibuffer (propertize "Prompt: " 'read-only t))

I guess `r-f-m' has a need to add some text property to the
prompt string.  It might just be `read-only'.

Regards,


Thanks for clarifying. I guess then it is a general bug - somewhere.
