Tag fuzzy search hangs; ctrl+c'ing produces "NoMethodError: undefined method `map' for nil:NilClass"

[newmacuser611]

First of all I absolutely love this project and am really thankful to all of you for making it.

Problem
Ever since I recreated my VM a few weeks ago and reinstalled Command-T, the tag fuzzy find feature has been broken. When I open up the tag search menu, the prompt (>>) does not show and I cannot type anything.

When I hit Ctrl+c, I see the following error:

Command-T [Tags]                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            0,0-1          All

My environment:
I think I am on some version on master, following 5.0.3, based on the following snipped in docs/command-t.text:

HISTORY                                         command-t-history

master (not yet released)

- Fix possible E434 when trying to jump to some help targets.
- Use execute() when available to avoid possible issues with
  potentially nested calls to :redir.
- Fix conflict with vim-cool plugin (#354).
- Close match listing after buffer deletion to avoid likely errors on
  subsequent interactions (#357, patch from Andrius Grabauskas).

5.0.3 (19 September 2018)

- Fix unlisted buffers showing up in :CommandTBuffer listing on Neovim.
- Fix edge cases with opening selections in tabs (#315).
- Fix possible degenerate performance of :CommandTBuffer and
  :CommandTMRU on Neovim.
- Handle missing match listing buffer in Neovim (#342).

Given the big rewrite for v6.0.x, I'm closing all older issues as there is unlikely to be anything significant happening on the 5-x-devel branch from here on¹. Feedback issue for 6.0.x is here:

• 🆕 Command-T 6.0.0 release — compendium issue #393
