I see. That works as I expected, right.
But what I described still looks like a bug to me, though...I mean, I
think the user shouldn't have to type M-b to then type C-M-i, in order
to be able to continue typing after the completed word.
Furthermore, the documentation under Spelling, in the Emacs Manual says:
Complete the word before point based on the spelling dictionary
(‘ispell-complete-word’).
and then:
Insert the beginning of a word, and then type ‘M-<TAB>’;
Note the "before point". That's what I did. The only thing different I
did was that I wanted to complete a word that was not at the end of the
buffer. And knowing only that much, I expected the cursor to be at the
end of the completed word.
