bug#52356: 27.2; Isearch prompt changes unexpectedly with char folding enabled

[Andrea Greselin]

Hello Juri,

your patch works for me. If you’re going to submit it for merging
you might consider replacing the old line with

    (or (eq this-command 'isearch-del-char)

just to avoid using ‘memq’ for comparing against a single item.

Thanks,
Andrea

But many functions in isearch.el set isearch-adjusted for a reason.
So maybe better to fix only the reported case with:
