23.0.60; TRAMP fails when passphrase is pasted by mouse into echo-area/mini-buffer

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

I typed (taken from "Recent input"):

C-x d C-y <escape> y <return> <help-echo> <help-echo> <down-mouse-2>  
<mouse-2> <return> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo>  
<help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <menu-bar> <help-menu> <send- 
emacs-bug-report>

Actually I yanked the address of the remote server and then visited  
the area to the right of the TRAMP prompt (asking for the pass- 
phrase) with the mouse cursor and pasted the pass-phrase from the  
mouse. This created the following *Backtrace* buffer contents:

Typing the whole pass-phrase works – but it fails to insert contents  
of some register (C-x r g <register>)
