I’m saying that the Tab should be able to scroll the *Completions* buffer
automatically without setting anything.
And in the use case I showed above it doesn’t.
I just posted this setq line as a workaround. And why does it break? Because if
you set it then C-M-v will always try to scroll *Completions* and not regular
other-window buffer which is useful sometimes (e.g. while using help, an
approach mentioned even in tutorial).
Just forget about the workaround I mentioned. The use-case shows a bug. That’s
all.
