Thanks for the report. Seems like a nice reproduction recipe. But it seems like it demonstrates the problem for two fido-mode-using things, right? M-x _and_ C-x p p RET f, right? No problem, just checking.
Yes, both M-x and C-x p p RET f, but the same is true for C-x p f once I am in a project. I used those two as examples because they are two of my most use commands and, among those, the ones with usually more candidates than the rest.
I feel like recency could make a difference especially with commands like these (i.e., commands with a lot of candidates) in terms of how quickly I can find what I am looking for.
Indeed, ido-mode was quited perfected in recency stuff. I was hard and still kind is to give up on its very nice default M-p binding that searches the recent history with whatever you have entered as a pattern. I used to use that all the time, and still haven't found a nice substitute in fido-mode or any other completer for that matter.
True, although I still find M-p useful in fido-mode especially in M-x when I want to reach for the last or second-to-last command.
