emacs -Q
`M-x customize-option default-frame-alist'
Click `INS'.
Enter `cursor-color' for field `Parameter: '.
Put cursor at beginning of field `Value: ', and delete the default
value, `nil'.
Use `M-TAB' (or `ESC TAB').
You get this error/message: "Not in an editable field".
Two parts to this report. The first is a bug; the second is an
enhancement request for handling of option `default-frame-alist' and
other frame-alist options.
1. That message is incorrect. The cursor is definitely in an editable
field. (Same incorrect message if you first type `Blu', then `M-TAB'.)
2. Emacs should provide reasonable completion for both fields,
`Parameter' and `Value', for `default-frame-alist'.
2a. Completion can be lax for `Parameter', providing candidates that are
predefined parameters, but letting you enter other values too.
2b. Completion can perhaps be strict for `Value' for some known
parameters, but it would probably be better if it were lax in all cases,
unless there is a strict requirement about the possible values in some
case.
