Re: org-insert-link completion by description (Re: what is the purpose of "This link has already been stored"?)

in fact, it is worse than that for me.  with my fonts, the links
window shows nothing useful on screen.  it is boilerplate.  orig is
smaller.  completion window -- not minibuffer -- shows bbdb: doi: and
other useless things.  the link i want to dinsert does not show in
either.  i would have to remember the link description then enter
that.  and learn a ew compoetion mechanism just for this one case?
not sure what you mean here  minibuffer says link.  unfamiliar
interface no flex no vertical no default of most recent stored.
