[SOLVED] vim completion menu broken

Since I upgraded to the latest vim (version 7.3.138, using the gvim package), the completion menu seems to be broken.

Steps of replication:
1. Stand in directory containing files test{1,5}
2. Open vim
3. :e t<tab>

By now vim should show the completion menu saying that there are five files to choose from, but instead the cursor places itself in the file where I last left input, the command area is cleared and no completion is shown. If I enter anything, the cursor returns to the command line and the command line is redrawn with whatever I enter. If I press tab again, the cursor returns to the command area returns and redraws ":e test", nothing further happens.

The error appears in both terminal vim and in gvim, and persists even if I reinstall using the regular vim package. I ruled out my configs breaking it by resetting them to a couple of months ago, but it didn't help.

vim --version && pacman -Qi gvim:

Is anyone else getting this?

EDIT && SOLVED:
It was my configurations after all. "set wildmenu list:longest" made it break for some reason. Without it everything is peachy. \o/
