Re: I-search: Clicking in minibuf during I-search fails.

[Richard Stallman]

    It doesn't read the mouse button release event (mouse-1), so the mouse
    release happens in the minibuffer after read-from-minibuffer activates it.

I see.

It could detect that e is a down-event and reads the next event too,
then unreads both after.  Does that approach work?

If it does, we could make a subroutine to use instead of read-event,
which would take care of this, and would return a list of one or two
events.
