Re: Completion in Auctex

Hello,

I tried to use `pabbrev' since a couple of hours, but I have
problems with it. Though, it seems to be exactly what I was
looking for for years... So, I'd love to have it working...

Sometimes, when "tabbing" for completion, it opens a new window
with some possible completions. The problem is I can't go out of
it, by no means (typing the number of the preferred completion,
typing <RET>, typing <DEL>, etc. -- nothing works!).

Under Windows, I could get this backtrace, which is exactly the
message I had as well in Ubuntu:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Attempt to delete the sole visible or iconified frame")
  delete-frame()
  (if (one-window-p t) (delete-frame) (old-delete-window (selected-window)))
  delete-window(#<window 3 on *Backtrace*>)
  (if (or pabbrev-mode (eq ... " *pabbrev suggestions*")) nil (delete-window (get-buffer-window " *pabbrev suggestions*")) (set-window-configuration pabbrev-window-configuration))
  (unless (or pabbrev-mode (eq ... " *pabbrev suggestions*")) (delete-window (get-buffer-window " *pabbrev suggestions*")) (set-window-configuration pabbrev-window-configuration))
  pabbrev-suggestions-delete-window()
  (let ((point)) (save-excursion (set-buffer pabbrev-suggestions-from-buffer) (let ... ...)) (pabbrev-suggestions-delete-window) (if point (goto-char point)))
  pabbrev-suggestions-insert("want")
  (if (< insert-index (length pabbrev-suggestions-done-suggestions)) (pabbrev-suggestions-insert (car ...)))
  (let ((insert-index ...)) (if (< insert-index ...) (pabbrev-suggestions-insert ...)))
  pabbrev-suggestions-select()
  call-interactively(pabbrev-suggestions-select nil nil)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Though, I don't understand why some window is popping up at some
point in time?

Can somebody help?

Thank you in advance,
  Seb

PS- Tabbing on hel[p] just above made the following window
    appear:

        ,----
        | Best Match: help
        | 0) help 1) help-gnu-emacs 
        `----

    But it's impossible to get out of it. And the result on the "to
    be completed word" is a complete mess... ;-((
