1. M-:
Eval: partial-completion-mode

=> t

2. M-:
Eval: (set-w-te <TAB>

=> Can't find completion for "set-w-te"

However, there is (defun set-window-text-height (window height)

So it must be added the completion from partial-completion-mode in this case.

I don't think partial-completion-mode has ever worked for this (i.e.,
completing Lisp symbols in M-:), has it?  It may not be trivial to add
this functionality.

I think it's just because TAB is bound to lisp-complete-symbol in
M-:, which uses read-expression-map. Enabling recursive minibuffers,
PC-lisp-complete-symbol works as it should in this example.

(define-key read-expression-map "\t" 'PC-lisp-complete-symbol)

would get the desired behaviour.

Indeed, TAB is not the way to complete a symbol there.
It is M-TAB.  Does M-TAB inside M-: work correctly when
Partial Completion mode is enabled?

    I think it's just because TAB is bound to lisp-complete-symbol in
    M-:, which uses read-expression-map.

Actually it is M-TAB which has that binding.

I was operating under the assumption that the OP meant to say "M-TAB"
rather than "TAB", because otherwise the bug report makes no sense.

Indeed, ALT-TAB.

ALT-TAB for the [alinsoar@voila.fr: EVAL and mouse selection in *Completions*] message also.
