   zsh: do you wish to see all 36 possibilities (38 lines)?

It's a bug in Zsh: https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2021/msg00304.html

[mike2point71]

You're the man. Love your plugin, and I can't believe you were able to respond with the exact thing so fast.

hi. getting stuck with the same error when i mainly type "cd". once I type "c" I get the do you wish to see all X possibilities. Is there any way to force certain keywords like "cd" to not attempt a menu popup?

[marlonrichert]

@hoteit I would like to be able reproduce that. Can you post a minimal test case?

[marlonrichert]

If anyone wants to submit a patch to Zsh for this, that would be great.

I get the "do you wish to see all ..." prompt on any larger list of possible suggestions - e.g., after typing sudo, git, man. It started happening in commit 2c22ed0.
It happens on a fresh install, manual sourcing, clean shell (as described in the bug report template). On the previous commit it works as I would expect (shows an incomplete list with (MORE) at the bottom.

[marlonrichert]

@shtolfensie OK, I'm able to reproduce that. I'll look into it.

[marlonrichert]

Fixed.

[marlonrichert]

Just to be clear, I fixed the problem pointed out by shtolfensie in their comment, not the whole issue.

[marlonrichert]

This has now been fixed in Zsh with zsh-users/zsh@b4dff9a. No idea when that will be released.
