Moreover, even after explicitly doing `M-: (setq print-length nil)', the backtrace is still abbreviated. >> I don't even get a *Completions* buffer; instead, TAB completes to the >> group "nnfolder+private:computer.personal", and hitting TAB again add >> "[Sole completion]".

I ask because the first time I did `M-: (setq print-length nil)' as above and then tried to use completion in Gnus, to my surprise it worked as it should, no missing completion. But when I tried to reproduce this success, I got the faulty completion again. This has happened several times now. So it seems like some kind of timing issue. Or a heisenbug. Steve Berman
