From: Reuben Thomas <rrt <at> sc3d.org> To: 12102 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#12102: 24.1.50; Strange interaction between completion and savehist Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 15:05:22 +0100
Here's a short file: (custom-set-variables '(savehist-mode t nil (savehist)) '(tab-always-indent (quote complete))) ;; "info" Call it foo.el, and start: emacs -Q -l foo.el foo.el Then go down to the commented string, put point on the "i" of "info" and press TAB. The string becomes "iinfo", and, with another TAB, "idlwave-routine-info". Without the savehist line in foo.el, the completion works as I'd expect: it offers a choice of elisp symbols. Why does configuring savehist-mode change this behavior?
