Tab completion doubles e every time e is the current character when hitting tab or right-cursor to finish completion.

Prerequisites

• I've checked the existing issues and I'm not duplicating a report.
• I've checked the zimfw Changelog and I'm not being affected by documented changes.
• I've checked the zimfw 📢 Announcements and I'm not being affected by announced changes.

Bug description

When performing a tab completion or cursor right to use the selection as shown the rest of the way, zim seems to always repeat the e again. This happens on Linux and macOS both, and it's repeatable but not consistent. Once resolved once it seems to stop doing it, but it's consistent that it continues to happen.

On a fresh booted system, for something, especially previous in history, type the command and stop where it has the e, then tab or right cursor, and often times it will duplicate the e.

Steps to reproduce

1. On a fresh booted system, for something, especially previous in history, type the command and stop where it has the e, then tab or right cursor, and often times it will duplicate the e.

Current behavior

e is duplicated causing an error if you try to run it.

Expected behavior

Completion works without duplicating the e.

Hi @erenfro. Check #504, starship/starship#4669 and stackoverflow.com/q/19305291/2654518

I looked at them, but I'm not thinking this is the same. This has been going on a while, but literally only ever does it on the e character, and nothing else. Newly installed systems too. I can also go back to the repeated e, delete/backspace it, and correct it, too. When I say it's been going on a while, I mean probably a couple years now,. I just finally broke down and saw it happen on my MacBook and decided it's time to look into this and report it. It happens on Fedora 18-38, Debian 12+, Arch Linux, and also macOS. I am using eriner. LANG has been en_US.UTF-8, and now en_CA.UTF-8.
