That'll be close enough; thanks.

This one is fixed now.

} Both should be fixed now.

This second one still happens to me.  I've set a few more styles; what I
get now is:

zagzig[72] cd *at/ba<TAB><TAB>
zagzig[72] cd foodatthe/Bar/
Completing `local directories', `directories in cdpath', or `corrections'

There are no completions beneath the verbose output there.  At this point
if I hit TAB a third time, "foodatthe/Bar/" becomes " ".  I tried unsetting
cdpath, but that just changes the message to:

Completing `directory' or `corrections'

Here's the entire list of styles again:

zstyle :completion::complete:cd:: tag-order local-directories path-directories
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _oldlist _expand _complete _match _ignored _approximate _prefix
zstyle ':completion:*' file-sort modification reverse
zstyle ':completion:*' format 'Completing %d'
zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''
zstyle ':completion:*' ignore-parents parent pwd ..
zstyle ':completion:*' list-colors ''
zstyle ':completion:*' match-original both
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'r:|[._-,]=* r:|=*' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z} r:|[._-,]=* r:|=*' 'r:|[._-,]=* r:|=* l:|=*'
zstyle ':completion:*' max-errors 2 numeric
zstyle ':completion:*' menu 'select=6'
zstyle ':completion:*' original true
zstyle ':completion:*' verbose true

And completion-related options (kshoptionprint format):

noalwayslastprompt    off
alwaystoend           on
noautolist            off
noautomenu            off
noautoparamkeys       off
