ido-completing-read doesn't work unless ido-mode is executed |
|

ido-completing-read acts very strangely when ido-mode hasn't been run.
It creates a minibuffer with default bindings for RET which doesn't
report to C-g. This stub buffer is very difficult to exit.
Ideally, ido-completing-read would read in ido style regardless of
whether ido-mode is run. At the very least, it should act like
completing-read.
To reproduce, run emacs -Q, then evaluate
(ido-completing-read "test" '("1" "2" "3"))
