Problem with consult-git-grep

[gerd-moellmann]

I have a weird problem with consult-git-grep on macOS.

With configuration:

(use-package consult :straight t
  :after vertico
  :config
  (setq vertico-multiform-commands
	`((consult-git-grep (:not posframe) buffer))))

1. Open an Emacs repo. In my case with Magit, if that matters.

2. M-x consult-git-grep RET In my case this splits the formerly one window so that the consult window is the lower one.

3. Enter HAV. This displays a handful of matches in the consult window, which are too few.

4. C-n a few tiems. Note the number of matches displayed change to some hundreds, and disappear again with further C-n and reappear and so on.

This is

• with consult 2.6 from ELPA.
• in Emacs master and emacs-30
• on tty and in the GUI

It did not happen before I updated with straight on 2025-07-28.

My question is if others have seen that, and if someone has an idea where to look.

TIA

Found it: it's a recent change in vertico which recomputesvertico-count. Can't say that I like the result.

Can you check if it happens in a minimal configuration without posframe? See the comments here: minad/vertico@d8dc49a

Ah, thanks! That's indeed exactly what I see here, too.

I pushed a fix to vertico-buffer.
