beginning-of-visual-line doesn't respect read-only prompts in minibuffer

beginning-of-visual-line doesn't respect read-only prompts in minibuffer

[William Xu]

Hi!

When global-visual-line-mode is enabled, C-a is rebinded to
beginning-of-visual-line, which doesn't respect(or get respected)
read-only prompts in minibuffer like old beginning-of-line.  For
example,

  M-x C-e C-a a

You get a warn: "Text is read-only".  This is very bad.  I guess it is a
bug?

Certainly.
