facemenu-set-intangible sets the `intangible' property without
disabling inhibit-point-motion-hooks.  It should set
`cursor-intangible' instead, and activate cursor-intangible-mode.

facemenu-set-intangible is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
‘facemenu.el’.

It is bound to <C-down-mouse-2> <sp> t, <menu-bar> <edit> <props> <sp>
t.

I think that makes some sense, but I'm not sure about activating a minor
mode like that -- it might not be what the user expects, and has
non-local effects.  Probably not serious effects (why would the user
have other text with cursor-intangible in the buffer already?), but it
feels a bit odd.

On the other hand, facemenu-set-intangible could document that it does
this, I guess?

Any opinions?

There were no opinions, so I'll go with my original take on it, and say
that this is working as expected, and I'm closing this bug report.  If
somebody disagrees, please respond to the debbugs address and we'll
reopen.
