OK - the culprit is the following code from
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InteractivelyDoThings#toc15 :
,----
| (defvar ido-enable-replace-completing-read t
| "If t, use ido-completing-read instead of completing-read if possible.
|
| Set it to nil using let in around-advice for functions where the
| original completing-read is required. For example, if a function
| foo absolutely must use the original completing-read, define some
| advice like this:
|
| (defadvice foo (around original-completing-read-only activate)
| (let (ido-enable-replace-completing-read) ad-do-it))")
|
| ;; Replace completing-read wherever possible, unless directed otherwise
| (defadvice completing-read
| (around use-ido-when-possible activate)
| (if (or (not ido-enable-replace-completing-read) ; Manual override disable ido
| (and (boundp 'ido-cur-list)
| ido-cur-list)) ; Avoid infinite loop from ido calling this
| ad-do-it
| (let ((allcomp (all-completions "" collection predicate)))
| (if allcomp
| (setq ad-return-value
| (ido-completing-read prompt
| allcomp
| nil require-match initial-input hist def))
| ad-do-it))))
`----
Any suggestion why this is happening? For the moment, I just disabled
this code completely.
Cheers,
Rainer
