emacs -q

M-x auto-insert

Prompt for keyword

C-h

opens a help-buffer with descriptions, but without the
corresponding keywords visible.

This buffer vanishes, when clicked by mouse.

=>

scroll-bar-toolkit-scroll: Wrong type argument: window-live-p, #<window 7>

Clicking the scroll-bar once also produced a segmentation fault.
(error-message was in German: Speicherzugriffsfehler)

So far

If you call

M-x auto-insert

you'll be first asked

"Short description: "

Secondly you'll see

"Keyword, C-h: "

in minibuffer.

That's the station, the bug showed up.

Thanks

Compare the thread on "help-for-help" around June 8-10, 2006 on emacs-devel.

I have not done any more since then.  I saw it wasn't a simple change,
so I gave up on it.
