Not exactly -- the bug is _NOT_ "un-intutiveness".
The bug, present in 7.0.10, is that both of Bram's intents, viz.,
"Using the cursor only selects another entry,
it doesn't insert it. Use Enter to insert the
match (original text)."
are _not_ happening.
1) <UP> -- just doing 1 <UP> -- after i_CTRL-X s actually inserts
an entry -- Bram says it will not, but it does in fact.
Moreover, even though the message at the bottom says Bram's
intent "Back at original", the word inserted is in fact the
"match 1 of 100" word -- after exactly 1 <UP> after i_CTRL-X s.
2) Then -- after doing zero or more <UP> and <DOWN> -- hitting
<ESC> will leave that inserted "match 1 of 100" word in the
buffer rather than Bram's intent of leaving the buffer unmodified.
POSTSCRIPT: With 7.0.10, in insert mode, enter the command:
<C-X>s<C-P><Down>
What shows up is what is supposed to show up
after entering only <C-X>s.
