When I use this plugin in this commit: https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete/commit/d8bfbef46efc54c1189010a3b70d501b44487504, zsh-autocomplete is works normal. After I update to this https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete/commit/4c363ff553be227db90842d7481fd6e02de8703c, this plugin now behaves weird. No error messages are displayed. The plugin fails to display the full widget, populating it only with an arbitrary subset of completions. Curiously, pressing tab flashes the widget for a split-second.

This behavior is reproducible when I set minimal OMZ. I'm on this https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/commit/3668ec2a82250020ca0c285ef8b277f1385a8085. Moved this plugin into OMZ custom plugin directory. Then updated .zshrc to this:

export ZSH="/tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX/.local/share/oh-my-zsh"
plugins=(zsh-autocomplete)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

Experiencing the same problem. Sticking to d8bfbef46efc54c1189010a3b70d501b44487504 as temporary work around.

@latipun7 @koseduhemak Can you please reduce the test case to the minimum needed to reproduce the problem? Thanks!

[latipun7]

Hi @marlonrichert , thank you for your attention. For the test environment provided, it should be already clean, right? Then I don't think I can provide more minimal example than what I describe.

In clean environment, I just clone https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh then clone this plugin into OMZ custom directory. Then in .zshrc, I just configured to source OMZ with only this plugin as shown below:

export ZSH="/tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX/.local/share/oh-my-zsh"
plugins=(zsh-autocomplete)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

Then run ZSH with that ,zshrc: env -i HOME=$PWD PATH=$PATH TERM=$TERM ${TERMINFO:+TERMINFO=$TERMINFO} zsh -d

For reference, I think this file is what OMZ do for completion: https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/blob/master/lib/completion.zsh

I think that file is sourced after this plugin. Thank you. Sorry, I'm just user with ZSH, didn't know how to make this more minimal 🙏

Also, I've updated my entire test session in step to reproduce.

After I update to this https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete/commit/4c363ff553be227db90842d7481fd6e02de8703c, this plugin now behaves weird.

It’s quite impossible for that to be the faulty commit. The problem more likely lies in 96bbb5bb5b3698ca23d54ee28eb595a3727bf6df.

[latipun7]

Yes. The update causing this behavior is this https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete/commit/96bbb5bb5b3698ca23d54ee28eb595a3727bf6df commit.

I'm closing this since this is duplicate of #483. My Issue is the same exact issue of that, which is "flickering" widget when pressing Tab & widget not showing when this plugin is combined by oh-my-zsh
