A colleague pointed this out.
Which version is used?
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.
Note that this particularly ugly when using dialog boxes (which uses
completion buffers in partial width windows.
There's no way, using the keyboard, to see names
that have scrolled off to the right.
There should be. However there was a bug in autoshow mode that caused
it not to work. This should be fixed in 21.2-CVS
