Occasionally I am getting

 isearch-cancel: Symbol's value as variable is void: cursor-sensor-inhibit [12 times]

but I cannot give exact steps to reproduce.

Likely cause - isearch is not requiring cursor-sensor.

Can you produce a backtrace?

No I cannot. That's the thing. It happened when I accidentally did
something twisted with isearch from the minibuffer.

I saw this error several times before so I though someone might figure
it out without further input. Next time when it happens I will track
back the key sequence that caused it.

Thanks, but now you cannot do isearch at all. It simply throws "Symbol's
value as variable is void: isearch--curent-buffer".

BTW, in my case the cause of the problem was indeed switching of buffers
during the isearch, but in it was happening in polymodes when changing
the indirect buffers for different mode chunks.

Strangely enough, after the emacs update of about 2 weeks ago I have
never encountered the problem again. It seems that my problem was fixed
even before the current "fix".

I just pulled again, and all is great! Thanks.
