What I mean by that is that it "logically" works as when I press <down> or <up> the indicator correctly displays the number of the item I am supposed to choose when pressing <RET> yet I can't visually see what I would select. First I thought it was a marginalia issue but that's not the case. With marginalia it only shows much more easily as marginalia adds text to minibuffer entries thus making lines longer. So this is a thing I can easily reproduce when making the whole Emacs window narrow enough to trigger continuation lines in the minibuffer. Seems to be an issue with the highlight line logic and scrolling?

Thank you for your report. To help investigate and eventually fix the issue, please provide a reproducible recipe, preferably starting from "emacs -Q" (if additional packages are needed, include their loading and activation in the recipe). This will make sure we see and investigate the same issue that you are experiencing, and will prevent misunderstandings. TIA ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

So to reproduce: emacs -Q M-x fido-vertical-mode M-x <consta> <-- any search term to narrow down the potential completions, in this case 12 items remain matching narrow the whole emacs window so the search results have to "break" because of long lines <down> <down> ... The highlighted active line remains visible until the last items, than the active line becomes invisible I hope it's more clear now. Am Mi., 22.

It looks like the code in icomplete--render-vertical implicitly assumes that every candidate takes just one screen line, which is false in your scenario. A workaround is to set truncate-lines non-nil in the minibuffer. João, can you take a look, please? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I'll take a better look later, but I can say that that truncate-lines idea sounds very sensible.

I am uncertain however if it is "the right thing" (r) to do. Note, that in conjunction with eg. marginalia, the information to an entry can become quite long, hopefully because it provides helpful information. This added information would no longer be visible and I don't know how to scroll to the left / right to make it visible. Additionally, if you press two times <TAB> <TAB> (requiring '(completion-auto-select 'second-tab) to be set) you get a different (arguably better) scrolling behaviour, breaking long lines while retaining the whole information. Similar functionality, different code? Sidenote: fido-vertical mode makes little sense in conjunction with (completion-auto-select 'second-tab) but I get what I ask for. Am Do., 2.

I am uncertain however if it is "the right thing" (r) to do. I think it's a good first step. Some scrolling commands need to be added, probably, because we can't guess where the user wants to look.
