In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux9) of Tue Sep 20 1994 on cobra

Given that ispell.el has (defvar ispell-choices-win-default-height 2) :

emacs -q
furble netcom<return>
M-xispell-buffer<return><space>space>
(setq ispell-choices-win-default-height 3)^J
M-xispell-buffer<return><space>0<space>

(I chose netcom because that's the most recent example where I got the
problem).  On the first ispell run, everything is as expected, and two
replacements are offered for netcom.  After changing the value of
ispell-choices-win-default-height to anything other than 2, then:

furble is highlighted and choices offered as usual
netcom is highlighted
The choices window is not visible
Making a "blind" choice inserts the replacement text at the beginning of
the buffer, not at the position of the replaced word.
