I don't think that's the issue, as I understand it. As another
example, if I type
:help termi
followed by <tab>, I get the following list of possibilities and the
command line as shown:
terminfo terminal-options mbyte-terminal
+terminfo qnx-terminal startup-terminal
terminal-info slow-terminal slow-fast-terminal
terminal-colors raw-terminal-mode enlightened-terminal
:help termi
Every possibility contains "termin", so I would expect vim to expand
the string on the command line to "termin", not leave it as "termi".
As it is, I now have to type "nal-c" to select "terminal-colors". I
would expect to have to type only "n" <tab> "-c". In this
particular example I would save only one keystroke, but I didn't
spend any time looking for a worse case, and it's sufficient to
demonstrate the issue.
This has bothered me for some time--it just never rose above my
posting threshold until someone else brought it up first.
