yes, 9.6.7 has the bug as i described it, at least with my window and ido setup.
emacs -q 9.6.7, vaniila except for whatever -q loads, opens a links window that shows descrtipition and truncated link. idk what you do to select. idk what it does with completion setups. one problem is this means a 2 window setup. i use VERY large fonts and basically never have a 2 window setup even for completions. i spent 20y kludging emacs to get rid of other window stuff and still there re many places where it creeps in [occur-like buffers are a big one]. the new [years old actally] window mechanism might improvbe on it in principle but i am not in a position to try that atm. idk if it would work with my ido setup. and if it did all technically work idk if the result would be accessible for me wrt window sizes.
