(There are at least 4 patches in-line in the bug
report, and I submitted a 5th one.)

Either you feel the bug has been fixed, in which case
perhaps you'd like to close it.

Or you feel it hasn't been fixed.

In the latter case, how about the patch I sent to fix
it?  If you don't want to use it, maybe say why it
doesn't fix the bug; or why you prefer another solution
(if so, what?); or what part of the bug you feel would
still be unaddressed if it were applied.

(FWIW, I've used essentially the code in the patch I
sent, in isearch+.el, since 2013.)
