bug#51575: 28.0.60; Many issues with icomplete-in-buffer |

Hi all,
I would like to use fido-mode in completion in-region / at-point
contexts. I realized there is a icomplete-in-buffer flag that is
intended to do that, at least for icomplete. So I started emacs with:
(setq icomplete-in-buffer t)
(icomplete-mode 1)
But the behavior is erratic to say the best. Say I'm in *scratch* and
want to autocomplete some symbol:
1. Doing M-<tab> once shows the icomplete menu, doing it again replaces
the *entire* buffer contents with just the selection.
2. Sometimes only the icomplete menu is shown, sometimes the traditional
*Completions* buffer is shown at the same time.
3. Pressing Enter doesn't select the candidate but inserts Enter.
4. If I enable fido-mode it disables and re-enables icomplete-mode but
leaves the icomplete completion-in-region-mode-hook uninstalled,
disregarding icomplete-in-buffer.
Maybe this is a legacy option that should be made obsolete, but it's a
pity that vanilla emacs provides so many alternatives for
completing-read but none for completion-at-point. The current
implementation wants to show the menu at point, this probably makes it
more complex, but simply showing the standard minibuffer icomplete
interface at the bottom would be a lot (like for example selectrum
does).
Best regards
