This is not the right place for reporting bugs, certainly not about the development codebase. Please submit a bug report using report-emacs-bug, and please include there a recipe to reproduce the problem starting from "emacs -Q". (I think what you describe is not a bug, but it's hard to tell without all the details. Also, the commit you mention is quite old.) > While debugging this issue I also noticed that auto-complete popup-el > use overlay 'prefix property which isn't documented. Can you point at places in auto-complete which are using that property?
