This is a regression introduced in Emacs 26.1 - no problem before that.
emacs -Q
1. In a Dired buffer (directory `toto', say) create a subdir `foo', mark
two files in `toto', and then use `C' to copy those two files from `toto' to
`foo'.
2. Use `M' with `a-w' to make the copies in `foo' read-only.
3. Turn on `debug-on-error'.
4. In `toto', use `C' again to try to copy the same marked files.
Let's say that the first file to copy is `a'. You see this prompt:
Overwrite `/the/path/to/toto/foo/a'? [Type yn!q or C-h]
Use `C-h' to try to see the key help. This happens:
`help-form-show' raises an error: (void-variable to).
It seems like the "to" in the prompt is being evaluated as a variable.
Perhaps there is a missing quote somewhere.
You can no longer use any keys at this point, including mouse actions.
(Except you can use `q' to quit the debugger.)
Because I cannot use keys at that point I cannot select the text in the
debugger to show it. Instead, see attached screenshot (file names redacted).
