bug#18727: 25.0.50; Paste to isearch-repeat-forward does not work

[Bert Sutherland]

1) emacs -Q <file.txt>
2) Copy some text to the Windows/Linux clipboard
    e.g. if using Putty simply highlight some text
    using the mouse
3) C-s to invoke isearch-repeat-forward
4) Pate text
    e.g. using Putty use mouse to right-click

Expected result: isearch is performed for pasted text

Actual result: text is insterted into file buffer and
    mini-buffer reports "Mark set"

Other: verified that I get the expected behavior in 24.3.1

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately have not received
any responses yet.)

I'm unable to reproduce this bug in Emacs 27, so I'm guessing that it's
been fixed in the intervening years, and I'm closing the bug report.
If you're still seeing this bug, please reopen this bug report.

After trying to reproduce the bug report, I see a slightly different problem:

0. Run in a terminal: emacs -Q -nw
1. C-s
2.1. either from the MATE Terminal context menu select "Paste"
2.2. or in xterm click the middle mouse button
     (both calls the same command)
3. Emacs hangs and typing 'C-g' produces the backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
  apply(debug error (quit))
  edebug(error (quit))
  signal(quit nil)
  edebug-signal(quit nil)
  xterm--pasted-text()
  backtrace-eval((xterm--pasted-text) 0 edebug-after)
  edebug-eval((xterm--pasted-text))
  edebug-eval-expression((xterm--pasted-text))
  edebug-eval-last-sexp()
  funcall-interactively(edebug-eval-last-sexp)
  call-interactively(edebug-eval-last-sexp nil nil)
  command-execute(edebug-eval-last-sexp)
  recursive-edit()
  edebug--recursive-edit(error)
  edebug--display-1((quit) 1 error)
  edebug--display((quit) 1 error)
  edebug(error (quit))
  signal(quit nil)
  edebug-signal(quit nil)
  xterm--pasted-text()
  (edebug-after (edebug-before 1) 2 (xterm--pasted-text))
  (isearch-yank-string (edebug-after (edebug-before 1) 2 (xterm--pasted-text)))
  (edebug-after (edebug-before 0) 3 (isearch-yank-string (edebug-after (edebug$
  (closure (minibuffer-history-symbol t) nil (edebug-after (edebug-before 0) 3$
  edebug-default-enter(isearch-xterm-paste nil (closure (minibuffer-history-sy$
  edebug-default-enter(isearch-xterm-paste nil (closure (minibuffer-history-sy$
  edebug-enter(isearch-xterm-paste nil (closure (minibuffer-history-symbol t) $
  isearch-xterm-paste()
  funcall-interactively(isearch-xterm-paste)
  call-interactively(isearch-xterm-paste nil nil)
  command-execute(isearch-xterm-paste)

I don't know why isearch uses an internal function 'xterm--pasted-text',
but not the same body as 'xterm-paste'.  There is no such problem when
pasting outside of isearch using 'xterm-paste'.

Hm.  A surprising thing here is the edebug stuff...  Did you instrument
the function before running?

Crystal ball says this is because of the xterm paste support.  Can you
try after disabling that extension?

I don't know how to disable it.  Pasting works fine via ‘xterm-paste’ event and
command with the same name.  But hangs when evaluating ‘(xterm--pasted-text)’.

Since the ‘xterm-paste’ command works without problems, I just copied its body
to ‘isearch-xterm-paste’, and everything works fine with this patch:

Yes, I instrumented it to show where it hangs.

Set interprogram-paste-function to a value that would disable it on
TTY frames.

That's somewhat ugly, IMO.  We should try making the xterm paste
facility play by the rules, like the GUI paste functionality does.

Since this bug report was already closed, and there is no quick fix,
I created a new bug report bug#36950.
