patch 9.0.2074: Completion menu may be wrong
Problem: Completion menu may be wrong
Solution: Check for the original direction of the completion menu,
add more tests, make it work with 'noselect'
completion: move in right direction when filling completion_info()
When moving through the insert completion menu and switching directions,
we need to make sure we start at the correct position in the list and
move correctly forward/backwards through it, so that we do not skip
entries and the selected item points to the correct entry in the list
of completion entries generated by the completion_info() function.
The general case is this:
1) CTRL-X CTRL-N, we will traverse the list starting from
compl_first_match and then go forwards (using the cp->next pointer)
through the list (skipping the very first entry, which has the
CP_ORIGINAL_TEXT flag set (since that is the empty/non-selected entry
2) CTRL-X CTRL-P, we will traverse the list starting from
compl_first_match (which now points to the last entry). The previous
entry will have the CP_ORIGINAL_TEXT flag set, so we need to start
traversing the list from the second prev pointer.
There are in fact 2 special cases after starting the completion menu
with CTRL-X:
3) CTRL-N and then going backwards by pressing CTRL-P again.
compl_first_match will point to the same entry as in step 1 above,
but since compl_dir_foward() has been switched by pressing CTRL-P
to backwards we need to pretend to be in still in case 1 and still
traverse the list in forward direction using the cp_next pointer
4) CTRL-P and then going forwards by pressing CTRL-N again.
compl_first_match will point to the same entry as in step 2 above,
but since compl_dir_foward() has been switched by pressing CTRL-N
to forwards we need to pretend to be in still in case 2 and still
traverse the list in backward direction using the cp_prev pointer
For the 'noselect' case however, this is slightly different again. When
going backwards, we only need to go one cp_prev pointer back. And
resting of the direction works again slightly different. So we need to
take the noselect option into account when deciding in which direction
to iterate through the list of matches.

# Contributing to Vim Patches are welcome in whatever form. Discussions about patches happen on the vim-dev maillist. If you create a pull request on GitHub it will be forwarded to the vim-dev maillist. You can also send your patch there directly. In that case an attachment with a unified diff format is preferred. Information about the maillist can be found [on the Vim website]. [on the Vim website]: http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim-dev A pull request has the advantage that it will trigger the Continuous Integration tests, you will be warned of problems (you can ignore the coverage warning, it's noisy). Please consider adding a test. All new functionality should be tested and bug fixes should be tested for regressions: the test should fail before the fix and pass after the fix. Look through recent patches for examples and find help with ":help testing". The tests are located under "src/testdir". Contributions will be distributed with Vim under the Vim license. Providing a change to be included implies that you agree with this and your contribution does not cause us trouble with trademarks or patents. There is no CLA to sign. # Reporting issues We use GitHub issues, but that is not a requirement. Writing to the Vim maillist is also fine. Please use the GitHub issues only for actual issues. If you are not 100% sure that your problem is a Vim issue, please first discuss this on the Vim user maillist. Try reproducing the problem without any of your plugins or settings: vim --clean If you report an issue, please describe exactly how to reproduce it. For example, don't say "insert some text" but say what you did exactly: "ahere is some text<Esc>". Ideally, the steps you list can be used to write a test to verify the problem is fixed. Feel free to report even the smallest problem, also typos in the documentation. You can find known issues in the todo file: ":help todo". Or open [the todo file] on GitHub to see the latest version. [the todo file]: https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/todo.txt # Syntax, indent and other runtime files The latest version of these files can be obtained from the repository. They are usually not updated with numbered patches. If you find a problem with one of these files or have a suggestion for improvement, please first try to contact the maintainer directly. Look in the header of the file for the name and email address. The maintainer will take care of issues and send updates to Bram for distribution with Vim. If the maintainer does not respond, contact the vim-dev maillist. # Translations Translating messages and runtime files is very much appreciated!
