I think it is quite confusing that you can move the point into the

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.
Do
M-x customize-option RET minibuffer-prompt-properties RET

Inviolable.
Thanks Luc! I supposed someone would say they wanted to copy the prompt
but I thought then one could turn off the hook (since I supposed those
who want to are seasoned Emacs users).
I did not know about this option however. The current behaviour is
probably not what a new user expects. I can't think of any other program
that behaves like this. Shell prompt for example do not.
I agree with Drew that the default should be that "Inviolable" should be
on (it should not be possible to move the point into the minibuffer
prompt). Is not that in line with how we have thought in other similar
cases?
