[Bug-AUCTeX] preview-1.277; Customization changed outside custom

[Miguel V. S. Frasson]

Remember to cover the basics.  Including a minimal LaTeX example
file exhibiting the problem might help.

Hi

Observing that I no longer have revealed the contents of a preview, I
customized group Preview Appearance, and found option
preview-auto-reveal.  There I read:

 Preview Auto Reveal: Hide Value Value Menu Function call:
 Function: preview-arrived-via
 Argument list:
 Repeat:
 INS DEL Lisp expression: backward-char
 INS DEL Lisp expression: forward-char
 INS
    State: CHANGED outside Customize; operating on it here may be unreliable.

Well, it says "CHANGED outside Customize; operating on it here may be
unreliable."  Actually I never customized this option, and in the file
where my customizations are saved, that option is not present.
Furthermore, I use `pc-selection-mode', and my arrow keys are bound to
`backward-char-nomark' and `forward-char-nomark'.

Then I "erased customization". I obtained

Preview Auto Reveal: Hide Value Value Menu Function call:
Function: preview-arrived-via
Argument list:
Repeat:
INS DEL Lisp expression: backward-char-nomark
INS DEL Lisp expression: forward-char-nomark
INS
  State: STANDARD.

Now this value looks ok for my settings. I did a dummy edit, saved and
now it is working fine.  But I observe that before customize, the
value was changed outside custom, to a value not useful for me.

Regards

Miguel.
