With the original problem fixed, Dmitry came to what can be seen as a UI deficiency in fido-mode. After analysing this with Stefan, we arrived at the conclusion that it was actually a problem in some longstanding minibuffer.el workings. At some point, a new variable was proposed, but I think Dmitry and Stefan then agreed that co-opting an existing variable wouldn't have a great impact. Maybe, Dmitry, we could revert to the earlier proposal with the new variable and somehow deprecate/discourage use of the one you're trying to change? That should be safe and bring all the benefits of your change, right? João -- João Távora
