emacs version GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 344, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 3.24.23, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2020-12-31
I have a butter "learnabbrev.txt" open with abbrev-mode enabled,
and in my init file,
(setq abbrev-suggest t)
(setq abbrev-suggest-hint-threshold 0).
My (global-abbrev-table) includes:
"foo" 1 "find outer otter"
(I checked to make sure that foo expanded to "find outer otter.")
When I start to enter "find outer otter," and no matter how many letters
I enter, including the entire phrase, there are no suggestions in the
echo area.
If I understand the info entries for abbrev-suggest and
abbrev-suugest-hint-threshold, should not a hint show in the echo area,
even after I type the first "f?"
Best,
Charlie Millar

That's my understanding as well, but tried it and doesn't work (also
Emacs 28.0.50).
If nobody comes with an explanation for this consider reporting it as a
bug (M-x report-emacs-bug).
