Hi all,

again the same question: what to do with this bug report?  The behavior
is still what a few people (including RMS) dislike, it is easy to
override it (although there is no mention of that in the manual, which
is very bad IMHO!), it also seems to be solved in Ivy (I don't know
about other completion frameworks - I would bet Icicles have a knob for
that, because Icicles have a knob for everything; Helm anybody?).

My personal suggestion would be either add a user option or (as a last
resort) write about the hack mentioned here in the manual, in the node
(info "(emacs)Select buffer").

Regards,
