Hi,
With both Emacs 29.2 and with the current master:
1. emacs -Q
2. (setq completion-styles '(substring))
3. C-u M-x customize-mode TAB
4. "Assertion failed: (stringp suffix)"
I not sure exactly why this error occurs, but IIUC it has to do with the
fact that customize-mode let-binds completion-regexp-list. I suspect
that the substring completion style doesn't handle that correctly.
In general, let-binding completion-regexp-list around completing-read is
not a great idea IMO because it affects recursive minibuffers as well.
So perhaps the best solution is to avoid doing that in customize-mode,
and to rely only on the predicate argument of completing-read instead?
Best,
Eshel
