Start with

   emacs -Q

In the *scratch* buffer enter the text

   'default-

and the type

    ESC TAB

This gives all completions for default-* in the *Completions* buffer. 
Now continue to type so that the *scratch* buffer contains

   'default-dir

Again type

    ESC TAB

I would expect the *Completion* buffer to show only the now useful 
alternatives. However this does not happen. Closing the window showing 
the *Completion* buffer and trying again with ESC TAB shows the correct 
alternatives however.

	* emacs-lisp/lisp.el (lisp-complete-symbol): Regenerate the
	completion list and redisplay the *Completions* buffer after a
	partial completion has been inserted in the buffer.

Here's a slightly better patch:

2005-12-09  Kevin Rodgers  <ihs_4664@ihs.com>

	* emacs-lisp/lisp.el (lisp-complete-symbol): Regenerate the
	completion list, even after a partial completion has been
	inserted in the current buffer.  If there are more than 1
	completions, redisplay the *Completions* buffer; if the
	completion is unique, delete the *Completions* window.
