It's not much of a problem for prefix > completion, in practice - for the reasons I gave. I understood what you said, but as written above I disagree: the same "confusing" behavior can happen at times with the old code. It's just a lot less frequent.

Obviously not, I have no idea why you take the idea that I think you said so. Stefan
