Subject: 29.0.50; Erratic behaviour with ecomplete and
 message-expand-name-standard-ui.
Date: Sun, 05 Jun 2022 11:21:09 +0200

;; Enable ecomplete with standard UI.
(setq message-mail-alias-type 'ecomplete
      message-self-insert-commands nil
      message-expand-name-standard-ui t)

;; Add two items to the ecomplete database to illustrate the problem.
(require 'ecomplete)
(setq ecomplete-database-file "/this/file/does/not/exist")
(ecomplete-add-item 'mail
                    "first.second <at> example.com"
                    "First Second <first.second <at> example.com>")
(ecomplete-add-item 'mail
                    "first.last <at> example.com"
                    "First Last <first.last <at> example.com>")

M-x compose-mail

In the To header, type "first" (without the quotes) and hit TAB
once. "first" is expanded to " <first.", as expected. Hitting TAB again,
however, just adds an extra space at the beginning, so that the
completion is "  <first.". And each time TAB is hit again, one more extra
space is added at the front. I had expected the second TAB to open a
*Completions* buffer which contained the two entries in the ecomplete
database.

If, on the other hand, the input in the To header is capitalized as
"First", hitting TAB once expands it to "First " (as expected), and
hitting TAB a second time gives an error:

completion--some: Args out of range: #("First" 0 5 (face message-header-to fontified t)), 0, 6

I had expected the second TAB to bring up the *Completions* buffer
instead of raising an error.
