 488 sudo connmanctl disable wifi; sudo connmanctl enable wifi
 578 ??sudo n?

if do widget history-search-backward with user entry

sudo n

then shortcut key of that history search, then Zsh complete it with:

sudo connmanctl disable wifi; sudo connmanctl enable wifi

instead of :

sudo nano /etc/local.d/local.start

the first found of the correct one matches

Please help give hint how it could be and to solve it ?

You've misinterpreted history-search-backward.  Doc says:
     Search backward in the history for a line beginning with the first
     word in the buffer.

So history-search-backward is looking for any line beginning with
"sudo", the "n" is ignored.

You want

history-beginning-search-backward
     Search backward in the history for a line beginning with the
     current line up to the cursor.
