the white space in your patch is corrupt (it's ok on github)

anyway i still don't know how to replicate the problem. i tried:

  % zsh -f
  % cd /tmp
  % touch 'Strategy TB' 'Strategy Scenario'
  % zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}'
  % autoload -Uz compinit && compinit -D

but i get:

  % : St<TAB>          # -> 'Strategy\ '
  % : Strategy\ <TAB>  # -> 'Strategy\ ' with list
  % : Strategy\ <TAB>  # -> 'Strategy\ Scenario'

what setting am i missing?
