Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

I initially discovered this in a build of emacs 30 that I made myself with the --with-pgtk option.
To remedy it, I tried to install the debian version of emacs-pgtk and discovered it there.

Reproduction:

0. Install 'emacs-pgtk'.
1. Open emacs-pgtk in GUI mode with no config using 'emacs -q'.
2. Run 'M-x fido-mode'.
3. Run another commmand by typing 'M-x open'. Notice that the completions after point do not change to show matches.
4. Type backspace so the command is 'M-x ope' and see that the completions now update for some reason.
5. Close Emacs.
6. Start emacs with 'emacs -q -nw'.
7. Repeat step 3 and it will demonstrate the correct behavior, with completions updating as you type.

I tried to reproduce with 'emacs-gtk' and that seems to work properly, so for now a workaround is to use that package.

Initially I discovered this using the 'consult' package, but I don't think the problem is there since it is reproducible with fido-mode.

I was running emacs-pgtk in kwin on KDE with Wayland.
