[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#724721: zsh: Tab completion error with vi

[Ludovic Lebègue]

Hi Frank

It indeed happened after an update to a new version of zsh.

Head of dump :

ludo at leonardo ~ % head .zcompdump 
#files: 693	version: 5.0.2

_comps=(
'-' '_precommand'
'.' '_source'
'5g' '_go'
'5l' '_go'
'6g' '_go'
'6l' '_go'
'8g' '_go'


Deleting the .zcompdump file fixed this bug.

Thank you.
