Pretty sure I did that, but it doesn't matter :)

I don't think it's a bug, really. Isn't it just the flex style greediness? It feels like it tries to match the longest string possible alphabetically? It's just unintuitive because the json results doesn't match the output, and debugstepping over was very unhelpful. We could maybe just add some docs explaining that eglot default, which for many really is an eglot hard-coding.

But not sure, and the workaround in the report works anyways :)
