[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#1101675: zsh: completion suddenly broken

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.9-8+b7
Severity: important

With "zsh -f":

qaa% mkdir testdir
qaa% touch testdir/FOO
qaa% autoload -U compinit
qaa% compinit
qaa% zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}'
qaa% : testdir/f

If I try to complete "testdir/f", I get no matches.

On an older machine, I get "testdir/FOO" as expected.

I suspect that some package upgrade broke completion.
