Hi Eric,

If you experience issues or run into bugs with Ivy, please report them
to the author of that package.  I believe there is an issue tracker at
this link:

https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper

From there, you should also be able to find the Ivy manual which will
give you more information on how to customize that package.

Since this is related to a third party package and not Emacs itself, I
don't see what more we can do here.

Thanks,
Stefan Kangas
