Re: I-search: Clicking in minibuf during I-search fails.

[Richard Stallman]

    The beginning of the minibuffer is the wrong position to put point,
    because the prompt is read-only, and to start editing the user needs to
    move point to the editable area.  The right position is where the mouse
    was clicked,

Ok, now I understand you.  Indeed, that is the right position.

So why does the event have the wrong position in it?
