This makes sense then. fido-mode is basically icomplete-mode with
different defaults and slightly different bindings, resulting in a
visual experience that looks vaguely like Ido (Fido = "fake Ido").
However, the description of this icomplete problem sounds like something
where fido-mode and icomplete-mode should exhibit exactly the same
behaviour, i.e. work along the very same code. So I'm baffled as to why
that problem affected icomplete and not fido-mode. Almost equally
baffled as to why it now breaks fido-mode.
I see in the side thread there seems to be a straightforward and logical
fix. If that makes sense globally and also fixes it for Sean, I'm fine
with it, otherwise I'd suggest having a second look at the original
problem that prompted the problematic patch, specifically at why
fido-mode didn't suffer from it.
