hmm... *does nothing with 'wildmenu' off* and surely something else different
from the defaults. Try this and see:
vim -Nu NONE

Yes, sure, and... something else ?
There are so many things and behaviours that can be customized in Vim!
Sometimes, refer to the default settings can help much more than give incomplete
- and useless - information. Can you say me what, in your settings, can disable the
Right-arrow behaviour for commandmode completion ? It seems it is not your
'wildmode' setting, because
vim -Nu NONE -c "set wildmode=longest:full,full"
gives me the same result: Right-arrow works as Down-arrow.

Cheers,
