Completion in minibuffer: Making inhibit-read-only local to *helm-mode-completion-at-point* while let-bound!

[synic]

I often open up spacemacs and type :e ~/Pro[tab] to open a file. Tab completion is hard to see because that message pops up, obscuring the completion.

How can I make that stop?

It would help us to help you if you can provide some more details :-) Have a look here.

I believe this happens when you try to do tab completion while helm is loading which happens on about a 1 second delay

It's not while it's loading, I can wait on the home screen forever and it will still happen, however, it appears to only happen the first time.

Is there a way do non-helm-completion in the minibuffer? if I type e: ~/Pro[tab], it would guess first ~/Projects, but if I hit tab again, it just brings up the next possible match without helm? ~/Products?

[justbur]

To clarify, I believe the problem occurs if you execute a command that
enters the minibuffer before helm is loaded. I think if you wait until helm
loads before entering :e you will not see the behavior. Is that correct?

I can wait as long as I want. It will still happen. But only the first time.

Here's a more direct test. Comment out this line, restart and see if you can reproduce it

@justbur I think your link is (already) outdated. You should link to a specific commit version (pressing y on the github page helps, IIRC)

[justbur]

Actually I can reproduce this even if helm is not deferred, so I was wrong about that

I was seeing this issue this morning, then Spacemacs seemed to update to v.0.105.21 and now the issue seems to have gone away.

@synic did you figure out a workaround for this?

[whogotpwned]

@synic @hansent Yeah I am interested too. That's really annoying and I lose about 2 seconds each time this pops up 😦

[xguerin]

@synic @hansent I am interested as well.
