I think you may have misunderstood my report. (Spacebar is *never* "accept" in
normal use). Normally, one uses ENTER to accept a completion, while to reject a
completion, one simply continues to type, so the space-bar will always function
as "reject".
You seem to think that I'm suggesting that:
Spacebar should normally be accept, but in some corner case, it should
be reject.
Actually, what I'm saying is that:
When one rejects a completion [by using spacebar], if the character ahead
of the cursor also happens to be a space, then the User's action should
be interpreted as just "reject the completion", instead of the usual
"reject the completion, and insert a space-character".
In the case I outlined, the user ends up with a doubled space, which is
unintentional. It's also hard to spot the mistake.
Pressing right-arrow isn't helpful: it means the user has to know about the bug,
devote mental attention to it, and work around it in an inconvenient way: it
would be more useful to suggest pressing SPACE,DEL.
[A similar example of "breaking the algorithm to be more consistent with what
users expect" is given by the behaviour of Ctrl-T in readline, when the
cursor-position is on the last character of the line.]
