I think I've fixed this bug. Thanks for the report. (I read the help-gnu-emacs
mailing list, and the newsgroup-to-mailing-list link is apparently broken, so I
didn't get your initial report. Thanks to Michael H. for the followup mail.)
FYI - I didn't notice this problem sooner because I use Icicles, and with
Icicles there is no problem entering characters such as `SPC' during completion.
Unlike vanilla bookmark.el, Bookmark+ uses (lax) completion for `bookmark-set',
so you can more easily reuse and edit an existing bookmark name for the new
bookmark. (FWIW, there are many ways in which Icicles enhances what Bookmark+
offers, but Icicles is not required.)
Please see the Bookmark+ doc for `bookmark-set'. Let me know if you run into
another problem.
