emacs -Q

C-u C-\ TeX RET

\"o TAB

Three completions are shown:

Possible completion and corresponding characters are:
 \"o:(1/1) 1.ӧ 2.ȫ 3.ö

Those are:
CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS
LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON
LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS

They all have the relevant mouse-highlight face, but mouse-2 on
any of them does not insert the relevant one in a buffer.

This is an unintended side-effect of this change:

    * leim/quail/latin-ltx.el: Auto-generate some of the entries.
    (latin-ltx--ascii-p): New function.
    (latin-ltx--define-rules): New macro.
    (define-rules): Use it.


Previously, there was a one-to-one mapping between TeX-like names
and inserted characters, with this change, many entries are
one-to-many.  Doubly unfortunately, the most likely candidate is
often not the first option.  I'd suggest reverting that commit.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately have gotten no
responses yet.)

I'm unable to reproduce this bug, because if I type

\"o TAB

I just end up with a buffer with an ö character and a TAB inserted.  Are
there any additional steps to see the completions, or has this just
changed a lot in the intervening years and been fixed in a different
way?

This is probably a dup of 13950 which has been fixed in commit c8cefd6a81.
