Subject: bug#3274: ido-completing-read doesn't work unless ido-mode is executed
Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 11:10:56 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1M4G6i-0001Aq-FS@localhost.localdomain> (raw)


ido-completing-read acts very strangely when ido-mode hasn't been run.
It creates a minibuffer with default bindings for RET which doesn't
report to C-g. This stub buffer is very difficult to exit.

Ideally, ido-completing-read would read in ido style regardless of
whether ido-mode is run. At the very least, it should act like
completing-read.

To reproduce, run emacs -Q, then evaluate

(ido-completing-read "test" '("1" "2" "3"))
