just a thought; perhaps 'autolist' is set? does it complete and add a
space or does it sit there? if you tab again will it go to the next
match?
you might explore some of (or all of) the following options (these are
the main options i have set which pertain to completion).
complete_in_word
NO_menu_complete
NO_auto_menu
NO_list_beep (maybe)
bash_auto_list
if that doesn't help, you might want to include the output of:
echo $PATH
echo $ZSH_VERSION
echo SHELL
and then 'which command1' and 'which command2' (with the names of the
actual commands you're having problems with)....
and the output of:
setopt
this might be helpful to those who are more knowledgable than i and
allow them to answer your question more fully.
the behaviour you're used to is definitely possible in the newer zsh
versions (pretty much anything is....).
