Search results aren't displayed unless I press up or down arrow key

[xfzv]

This is definitely an issue with my config because I cannot reproduce with the minimal init.lua provided.

I'm using stevearc/dressing.nvim and nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim as vim.ui.select() handlers.

1. Run :Legendary
2. Start typing

GIFs showcasing the two different behaviors

• With minimal init.lua ✔️ - all good (results start appearing as I type)
  

• With my main config ❌ (pressing down arrow key at the very end so that search results are displayed)

minimal init.lua:

vim.cmd([[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]])
vim.cmd([[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]])
local package_root = "/tmp/nvim/site/pack"
local install_path = package_root .. "/packer/start/packer.nvim"
vim.g.loaded_remote_plugins = ""
local function load_plugins()
  require("packer").startup({
  	{
  		"wbthomason/packer.nvim",
  		{
  			"mrjones2014/legendary.nvim",
  			requires = {
  				-- place your `vim.ui.select()` handler here
  				-- for example:
  				{
  					"nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
  					requires = "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
  				},
  				"stevearc/dressing.nvim",
  			},
  		},
  		-- ADD PLUGINS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
  	},
  	config = {
  		package_root = package_root,
  		compile_path = install_path .. "/plugin/packer_compiled.lua",
  		display = { non_interactive = true },
  	},
  })
end
_G.load_config = function()
  -- setup your `vim.ui.select()` handler here
  -- for example:
  require("telescope").setup()
  require("dressing").setup()
  require("legendary").setup()
  -- ADD INIT.LUA SETTINGS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  print("Installing legendary.nvim and dependencies.")
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--depth=1", "https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim", install_path })
end
load_plugins()
require("packer").sync()
vim.cmd([[autocmd User PackerComplete ++once echo "Ready!" | lua load_config()]])

relevant parts of my main config (I'm using lazy.nvim)

  {
  	"mrjones2014/legendary.nvim",

  			lazy = true,
  		},

  					prompt_title = "Zoxide",
  					mappings = {
  						default = {
  							after_action = function(selection)
  								print("Directory changed to (" .. selection.z_score .. ") " .. selection.path)
  							end,

  						["<CR>"] = {
  							action = require("telescope._extensions.zoxide.utils").create_basic_command("cd"),
  						},
  					},
  				},
  			},
  		})
  	end,
  },
{
  	"stevearc/dressing.nvim",
  	lazy = true,
  	init = function()
  		vim.ui.select = function(...)
  			require("lazy").load({ plugins = { "dressing.nvim" } })
  			return vim.ui.select(...)
  		end
  		vim.ui.input = function(...)
  			require("lazy").load({ plugins = { "dressing.nvim" } })

Other information about my setup:

❯ nvim --version
NVIM v0.8.3
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

❯ kitty --version
kitty 0.27.1 created by Kovid Goyal

Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks!

Taking a brief look, the only thing that stands out is that require("telescope").load_extension("lazy") is in the middle of the telescope config table? Shouldn't that be outside of the require("telescope").setup() table?

[mrjones2014]

I’d recommend removing telescope extensions and adding them back one by one to rule out a telescope extension causing it.

I tried without any Telescope extension and without any additional parameters but the issue persists:

	{
		"nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
		config = true,
		dependencies = {
			"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
			"nvim-lua/popup.nvim",
		},
	}

Without Telescope and while keeping dressing.nvim, the issue doesn't occur.

I'll have to do some further testing. Thanks for your help!

I found the culprit, maybe someone will find this useful. I'm using NvChad/nvim-colorizer.lua:

	{
		"NvChad/nvim-colorizer.lua",
		event = { "BufReadPost", "BufNewFile" },
		config = function()
			require("colorizer").setup({
				user_default_options = {
                                        -- update color values even if buffer is not focused
                                        -- example use: cmp_menu, cmp_docs
					always_update = true,
				},
			})
		end,
	},

Switching always_update to false (which is the default by the way) did the trick.

Thanks again for your time @mrjones2014.

[mrjones2014]

Cool, I recommend filing an issue in their repo.

[mrjones2014]

I just tried it out and I don't have the issue with that plugin and always_update = true
