bug#60411: 29.0.60; minibuffer-next-completion skips first candidate whe


From: Gregory Heytings
Subject: bug#60411: 29.0.60; minibuffer-next-completion skips first candidate when completions-header-format and completion-show-help are nil

Then why not change that logic in minibuffer-next-completion to be smarter about this?


I (and Stefan) already tried this, it doesn't seem to be feasible with a small and safe change.


What you suggest is too ad-hoc-ish, and any future change to the possible values of completions-header-format will risk breaking the condition you propose.


I agree about the adhocishness, but I don't see how it could be done differently.


Or maybe what minibuffer-next-completion does should be rethought? Why does it assume that the first candidate is on the second line? what if it's on the third line instead?


It does not need to be on the second line, it's only that it cannot be at BOB.
