Tab-Completion popups are inconsistently anchored to cmdline

[jsco2t]

My environment:
macOS
NVIM v0.9.4 (installed via brew)
LazyNvim configuration (based off of their sample config)

I have noice configured (I think) such that when I do tab completions from the cmdline that the popup should appear right above the command line.

Here is the config (in file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/noice.lua):

return {
  require("noice").setup({
    cmdline = {
      view = "cmdline",
    },

    presets = {
      command_palette = false,
      bottom_search = true,
    },
  }),
}

Here is what I am observing:

When I open nvim the tab-completion window is showing up in the middle of the screen (what I don't want). IF I open up any configuration I have under ~/.config/nvim/lua and just save the file (thus triggering a config reload) then tab-completion does what I expect and shows a small popup UI right above the command line.

I'm posting this as a question instead of a bug because I have no idea if this is something I am doing wrong - or some issue with how noice is working on my machine.

Any help would be appreciated

I have found what I think is a reasonable work-around (not a lua expert):

return {
  --require("noice").setup({
  --  cmdline = {
  --    --enabled = false,
  --    view = "cmdline",
  --  },

  --  presets = {
  --    command_palette = false,
  --    bottom_search = true,
  --  },
  --}),
  {
    "folke/noice.nvim",
    event = "VeryLazy",
    opts = {
      cmdline = {
        view = "cmdline",
      },
      presets = {
        bottom_search = true,
        command_palette = false,
      },
    },
  },
}

This seems to work more consistently. Not sure why though.
