A colleague pointed this out.
Split a frame vertically to get two side-by-side windows. Assume that
truncate-lines is T and truncate-partial-width-windows is T, the
defaults values, I think. Do a C-x b TAB to try to complete on a
buffer name. If the number of buffers is very large and the windows
are narrow, many of the buffer names are not visible because the lines
have been truncated. There's no way, using the keyboard, to see names
that have scrolled off to the right. On a normal full-width screen,
pressing tab causes the completion window to scroll so you can see
more.
Should we momentarily bind truncate-lines and
truncate-partial-width-windows to NIL for any completion window?
This bug doesn't happen in 20.4.
