I tried this, but without instructions how to reproduce the problem, I
cannot be sure I did the required gestures.  Just evaluating the above
in *scratch* and then typing C-f does show the prompt, IIUC what is
meant by that.

So please provide more detailed instructions to reproduce the issue.

Thanks.
