Expected behavior

No response

Actual behavior

when running fuzzy find on current buffer

Minimal config

vim.cmd [[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]]
vim.cmd [[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]]
local package_root = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack'
local install_path = package_root .. '/packer/start/packer.nvim'
local function load_plugins()
  require('packer').startup {
    {
      'wbthomason/packer.nvim',
      {
        'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
        requires = {
          'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
          { 'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = 'make' },
        },
      },
      -- ADD PLUGINS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
    },
    config = {
      package_root = package_root,
      compile_path = install_path .. '/plugin/packer_compiled.lua',
      display = { non_interactive = true },
    },
  }
end
_G.load_config = function()
  require('telescope').setup()
  require('telescope').load_extension('fzf')
  -- ADD INIT.LUA SETTINGS THAT ARE _NECESSARY_ FOR REPRODUCING THE ISSUE
end
if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  print("Installing Telescope and dependencies.")
  vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', '--depth=1', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path }
end
load_plugins()
require('packer').sync()
vim.cmd [[autocmd User PackerComplete ++once echo "Ready!" | lua load_config()]]

Hey thanks for reporting. I think we're tracking this issue here: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/issues/2446

See if this workaround can help you: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/issues/2446#issuecomment-1875123859

It's a pretty tricky one to fix unfortunately. I'm working on improvements to how we generally handle paths so hopefully these changes will eventually help to resolve this.

But I'm going to close this as it's a duplicate.

Thanks! this solved the issue with find_files and live_grep but not on current_buffer_fuzzy_find should I create a new ticket? @jamestrew Thanks btw

Ahh it's ok. It's the same underlying issue that impacting a many other pickers. I'll make a note in #2446 so we make sure to test this.
