patch 9.1.1374: completion: 'smartcase' not respected when filtering matches
Problem: Currently, 'smartcase' is respected when completing keywords
using <C-N>, <C-P>, <C-X><C-N>, and <C-X><C-P>. However, when
a user continues typing and the completion menu is filtered
using cached matches, 'smartcase' is not applied. This leads
to poor-quality or irrelevant completion suggestions, as shown
in the example below.
Solution: When filtering cached completion items after typing additional
characters, apply case-sensitive comparison if 'smartcase' is
enabled and the typed pattern includes uppercase characters.
This ensures consistent and expected completion behavior.
