,----[ C-h v corfu-auto-prefix RET ]
| corfu-auto-prefix is a variable defined in ‘corfu.el’.
| 
| Its value is 3
| 
| Minimum length of prefix for auto completion.
| The completion backend can override this with
| :company-prefix-length.  It is *not recommended* to use a small
| prefix length (below 2), since this will create high load for
| Emacs.  See also ‘corfu-auto-delay’.

If you take a closer look, you'll see that the screenshot I sent had
also a candidate "because" since I hit TAB after only 2 characters, you
have 3 characters "bec" in the buffer where the completion kicks in,
hence one candidate is missing.

In your other mail, you wrote:

I don't use use-package, but you'll know that it loads packages lazily,
so if you're using corfu in your .tex file for the first in a fresh
Emacs instance, it has to be loaded; maybe that's the reason.  I observe
the same thing if I deactivate corfu in a .tex buffer and activate
company; it takes a sec before it's ready to go.
