No, the bug's still there, I see no such cycling.  Possibly it might be
a documentation bug, if so then it could alternatively be considered a
wishlist bug for more precise settings to be added to the "Input Box"
Preferences dialog under "Nick Completion".

I have now found I can get the behaviour I expected by manually editing
~/.xchat2/xchat.conf, changing completion_amount to 1. In that case I
have to add the extra letters till there's only once nick chosen.

Nevertheless, if I change completion_amount to 3, say, then I get the
behaviour I described. There may be two choices available but only the
first of them gets chosen automatically, and it's stuck there.  I don't
get the the tab cycling you mentioned.

Incidentally, toggling "Automatic nick completion (without TAB key)" on
and off seems to have no effect on the completion behaviour.

So, while I can work around the problem by setting completion_amount=1,
at the same time the bug still stands since I am not seeing the tab
cycling that you've said is supposed to occur.

I said it might be a documentation bug since I don't know if the config
settings have some other value somewhere else to turn the tab cycling on
or off.

By the way I'm on xchat 2.6.8 (2.6.8-0.1) now.

Thanks,

Drew
