   Sounds like a bug in the script. The nushell maintainers don't really support the scripts here but just the repo. Feel free to submit a fix for it and we could land it.

   Maybe this is actually a nushell bug?

   The script def has a faulty regex

   It should be

   zoxide query -ls $buffer
   | parse -r '(?P<description>\d+(?:\.\d+)?)\s+(?P<value>.+)'

   instead of
   

   nu_scripts/custom-menus/zoxide-menu.nu

   Lines 16 to 17 in 765555b

   	zoxide query -ls $buffer
   	| parse -r '(?P<description>[0-9]+) (?P<value>.+)'

   which only gets the last digit from the decimal scores

   But what looks like a bug to me:

   def __test_menu [] {
     {
       name: test_menu
       only_buffer_difference: true
       marker: "| "
       type: { 
         layout: columnar
         page_size: 3
       }
       style: {
         text: blue
         selected_text: blue_reverse
         description_text: yellow
       }
       source: { |buffer, position|
         [{description: 0, value: "AAAA"}, {description: 1, value: "AAAB"}, {description: 3, value:"AAAC"}]
       }
     }
   }

   this here similarly selects AAAAAAC, so some kind of common prefix + selected

   but the exact same setup with layout: list works as expected. Same with the zoxide menu, using list works flawlessly.

   I will report this at the nushell repo and depending on that make a pr to fix the regex, i guess?

   I think jabdinghoff is right, this is probably a Reedline bug with partial completions. The list menu's unaffected because it doesn't do partial completions, whereas the columnar and IDE menus do. I suspect the problem is in menu_functions::can_partially_complete (also, turns out find_common_string doesn't handle suggestions that are substrings of the first suggestion, not sure if that bug is related though).

   I will report this at the nushell repo and depending on that make a pr to fix the regex, i guess?

   Both of those would be helpful, but could you report this in the Reedline repo rather than the Nushell one?
