Hey.


It seems that when setting completion-prefix-display-length to a
positive number, colored-completion-prefix generally stops working
(simply no colour, whether or not an ellipsis is printed).

Yes. completion-prefix-display-length takes precedence over any colored
prefix setting.


Shouldn't it make sense that this works independently?

Maybe. It never has.

If on sets e.g.
   set colored-completion-prefix 10
...so that long file names or so are abbreviated...
one still might want to have the short common prefixes for options or
so highlighted.

Let me see what I can find.
