bug#48153: 28.0.50; minor mode keymaps should not override keymap given to read-from-minibuffer

[Jimmy Yuen Ho Wong <wyuenho@gmail.com>]

Sorry I'm really bad at giving instructions. Here's some additional information.

First of all, this is the entirety of the test init.el.

(defun bad ()
  (interactive)
  (message "BAD !"))

(define-minor-mode test-mode ""
  :keymap
  (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
    (define-key map (kbd "C-k") 'bad)
    map))

(define-global-minor-mode test-global-mode test-mode (lambda () (test-mode 1)))

(test-global-mode 1)
(ido-mode 1)
(setf enable-recursive-minibuffers 1)

Once emacs has started, C-x b C-h b should show that C-k is bound to `bad`.

Second of all, in order to get the key map bindings to
read-from-minibuffer overridden on emacs 27, it requires quitting from
switch-to-buffer, and then C-x b C-h b again to see that C-k is bound
to `bad`. In other words, on emacs 27, one has to pop up the
minibuffer twice. On emacs 28, just opening the minibuffer the first
time will see the key bindings overridden. I guess this is why I say
this is a regression on emacs 28 but you said you couldn't reproduce
it. I think both versions are wrong, it's just on emacs 28, it's wrong
in a more obvious way. In any case, I'm not sure if the minor mode
maps should override the key bindings in the keymap given to
read-from-buffer.
