Thanks. But it seems I cannot reproduce the problem anymore in
Selectrum. Maybe this was due to some temporary buffers used by
Selectrum back then, which have been removed for good now. Maybe this
has fixed this caching issue. My Vertico UI also does not have the
issue. I removed the binding cache from Marginalia.
