Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2025 20:16:45 -0700

This is a two part bug report:

PART 1 of 2:

STEP 0:  Start-up Emacs 29 without any user configuration.

STEP 1:  (require 'ido)

STEP 2:  (ido-read-buffer "PROMPT:  " nil 'require-match nil)

STEP 3:  Observe that there are no visible ido rotational buffer choices.

STEP 4:  (ido-common-initialization)

STEP 5:  Repeat STEP 2 and observe that it now works; i.e., there are now visible ido rotational buffer choices.

================

PART 2 of 2

STEP 0:  Start-up Emacs 29 without any user configuration.

STEP 1:  (require 'ido)

STEP 2:  (ido-read-buffer "PROMPT:  " nil 'require-match nil)

STEP 3:  Press the TAB key to open the *Ido Completions* buffer.

STEP 4:  Navigate to the *Ido Completions* buffer and select the *Messages* buffer, and press the enter key.

STEP 5:  Now that the word *Messages* is in the minibuffer following the word PROMPT:, press the enter key.  The function erroneously returns the "*scratch*" buffer instead of the *Messages* buffer.
