I was following these instructions:

When I did M-RET on "~/.emacs" I got in minibuffer:

Visit tags table (default TAGS): ~/.emacs.d/elpa/hyperbole-7.1.2/

and that was not what I expected.

Additionally, if cursor is on dot, the M-RET will not work on
"~/.emacs"

Additionally, if cursors is on last quotation mark, Emacs starts doing
something and I can only interrupt it.

I use:  Editor:      GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 15, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo version 1.14.8, Xaw3d scroll bars)

        Hyperbole:   7.1.2
        Sys Type:    x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
        OS Type:     gnu/linux
        Window Sys:  x
