As I already pointed out, I personally do not find this confusing, but
very useful. For people who do not like it, however, the
functionality you want is already available.
M-x customize-option RET minibuffer-prompt-properties RET
and check: Inviolable.
Thanks. I wasn't aware of that option.
I'd still be interested in knowing what your text-copying use case is.
And a question - ignore, if this has already been beaten to death -
shouldn't "inviolable" be the default value? A novice might get confused and
not know about the option to make the text inviolable; a veteran is more
likely to try to copy prompt text and to discover the open-sesame option, if
it is locked by default.
