Thanks for the report, and apologizes for the late response.  It seems
like your message never made it to the mailing list.

Anyway, AFAICT this is a duplicate of Bug#61274, it's a problem in
dabbrev-capf, unrelated to completion-preview-mode per se.

You can use cape-dabbrev from the GNU ELPA package cape as a workaround.


Best regards,

Eshel
