Does the `noselect` option (lack of it in `completeopts`) work with `longest`?

[psprint]

Hi, I would like to have the first completion always selected – immediately after appearing. As far as I understood, this should be achieved via:

set completeopt-=noselect
" BTW, the other options that I set are:
set completeopt+=menuone,noinsert,longest

However, this isn't the case, unless I also remove the longest option. Could someone explain me why?

From :help cot:

 noinsert Do not insert any text for a match until the user selects
      a match from the menu. Only works in combination with
      "menu" or "menuone". No effect if "longest" is present.

Do you want to insert the longest common text of the matches and have the first menu entry selected? I may be wrong, but I don't think that Vim supports that.

Yes, this is what I want. I've created a ticket.
