undo in menu selection broken

undo in menu selection broken

[Andrej Borsenkow]

It is probably the result of recent patch and hence partially my fault.
undo'ing after accept-and-infer-next-history does not goes up but rather
deletes one character on the line.

bor@itsrm2% cd ./AIX/
Completing directory
AIX/       Bsd/       CVS/       Core/      Linux/     X/
Base/      Builtins/  Commands/  Debian/    User/
bor@itsrm2% cd ./AIX/ (after a-a-i-n-h)
bor@itsrm2% cd .AIX/  (after undo)

I have menucomplete set; else

bor@itsrm2% zstyle -L
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _oldlist _complete _match
zstyle ':completion:*' format 'Completing %d'
zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''
zstyle ':completion:*' insert-unambiguous true
zstyle ':completion:*' list-colors ''
zstyle ':completion:*' list-prompt '%SAt %p: Hit TAB for more, or the
character to insert%s'
zstyle ':completion:*' match-original both
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'm:{a-z}={A-Z}' 'm:{a-z}={A-Z}
r:|[._-]=* r:|=*' 'm:{a-z}={A-Z} r:|[.-]=** r:|=**'
zstyle ':completion:*' menu 'select=long-list' 'select=0'
zstyle ':completion:*' old-list _match
zstyle ':completion:*' verbose true
zstyle :compinstall filename /home/bor/.zcompletion
zstyle ':completion:*:*:configure:*' tag-order 'options:-with:with\
options options:-other:other\ options' 'options:-without:without\
options'
zstyle ':completion:*:options-with' ignored-patterns '^--with-*'
zstyle ':completion:*:options-without' ignored-patterns '^--without-*'
zstyle ':completion:*:options-other' ignored-patterns '--with(|out)-*'

The problem is something I asked some time ago: a-a-i-n-h has problems 
when the completion it tries generates only one or two matches. In
this case there is only one (CVS), so instead of accepting that it
leaves menu-selection and the undo then removes the slash. Probably
some messed up undo state, I'll have a look. But the real problem with 
this is the a-a-i-n-h behaviour. What should it do when there are no
matches or only one? I would definitely prefer it if it didn't leave
menu selection. For one match this would show that match, quite
reasonably, but when there are no matches? Ideas, anyone?

Bye
 Sven
