MC-123427Common prefixes are no longer tab-completed
The bug
In 1.12.2, common prefixes were automatically tab-completed. This allowed people to easily narrow down the result set. As of 17w50a, this is no longer the case.
How to reproduce
- Type /scoreboard objectives add name m
- Hit tab
You will be given a huge list of tab-completion suggestions. Finding the one you need will be no faster than typing it. However, 1.12.2 Would first tab-complete to /scoreboard objectives add name minecraft. - from there, you could keep on specifying what you need, for example by adding a b at the end and hitting tab again, which would give you /scoreboard objectives add name minecraft.broken: and so on.

I'd like to add something I said in my bug report (that is a duplicate). So I'll copy-paste that here. Like I said there, I'm not sure this was something that existed, but even if it wasn't, I'm hoping the devs couls add that while they're at it, because it would be so useful ! (at least for IDs such as scoreboard criterias) So here it is :
" I can't remember if something like that was there in 1.12, but a useful thing would be to have additionnal suggestions that would always be at the top (except if there are results that would end before having a "non-letter character") but that would never suggest anything after the next "non-letter character".
Explanation :
► So, in short, nothing changes at all about which full IDs are shown, we only add what are all the categories in which they are scattered. "
