} Err... `display erased' when you `accept a choice'? It shouldn't get
} erased on an accept-line. And it doesn't get for me. Hence I couldn't
} reproduce this.

OK, I managed to reproduce it:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
schaefer<501> ls /usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-4.0/Src/c
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cursor is over the final 'c' when I press TAB:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
schaefer<501> ls /usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-4.0/Src/c
Completing files
exec.c       math.c       params.c     prompt.c     options.c    watch.c    
jobs.c       init.c       hist.c       input.c      linklist.c   string.c   
signals.c    glob.c       builtin.c    pattern.c    hashtable.c  modentry.c 
lex.c        cond.c       parse.c      text.c       module.c     mem.c      
utils.c      subst.c      loop.c       compat.c     zsh.rc       main.c     
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(I have zstyle ':completion:*' file-sort modification)

Press TAB nine times (this many may not be necessary) so that `cond.c' is
highlighted.  Then press accept-line:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
schaefer<501> ls /usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-4.0/Src/cond.c 




             cond.c       

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Cursor is now at the end of the command line after `cond.c '.

Potentially relevant styles:

zstyle ':completion:*' menu 'yes=long' 'select=9'  
zstyle ':completion:*' completer \
	_oldlist _expand _complete _match _ignored _approximate _prefix
zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''
zstyle ':completion:*' list-colors ''
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'r:|[-._,]=** r:|=**' \
	'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z} r:|[-._,]=** r:|=**' 'r:|[-._,]=** r:|=** l:|=*'
zstyle ':completion:*' max-errors 2 numeric
zstyle ':completion:*' original true 
zstyle ':completion:*' format 'Completing %d'
