   Bug#1128600: vim: unexpected completion    
   21 Feb 26 20:30:01   
   
   From: brandon1024.br@gmail.com   
      
   Package: vim   
   Version: 2:9.1.1230-2   
   Severity: normal   
      
   Dear Maintainer,   
      
   The official vim package available in Debian Trixie incorrectly   
   completes the wrong text when the fuzzy 'completopt' is set. This   
   behaviour was corrected in 057ea1232 (patch 9.1.1931: completion: wrong   
   item selected with fuzzy and noinsert, 2025-11-27), which I've confirmed   
   in a source build.   
      
   Depending on the tokens in the file, the first result shown in the   
   insert-mode completion menu is not the text which will be completed.   
   This behaviour is easily reproducible. I've put together a minimal   
   reproducer to demonstrate the behaviour below.   
      
   $ cat reproducer.vim   
   " Navigate to the end of the comment line '" Other' and enter insert mode.   
   " Hit  to display menu and notice that 'ColumnOtherMaximum' is   
   selected.   
   " Hit  and note it insert the wrong item '// Other Columns'.   
   set nocompatible   
   set completeopt=menuone,noinsert,popup,fuzzy   
   set completefuzzycollect=keyword   
      
   " // Other Columns   
   " ColumnOtherUnit   
   " ColumnOtherMinimum   
   " Other   
   " ColumnOtherMaximum   
   " ColumnOtherSelected   
      
   $ vim -u reproducer.vim reproducer.vim   
      
   I use insert-mode completion regularly in my day-to-day, and I would   
   like to include results from fuzzy matches. Unfortuantely due to this   
   bug in the package, I need to build from source.
