That didn't answer my question. Do you see something different then
the default:
when wildmenu is on:
<Right> moves to the next match
and when it is not set, it does not complete anything.

,----[ :h 'wildmenu' ]-
| <Left> <Right> - select previous/next match (like CTRL-P/CTRL-N)
`----
,----[ :h c_<Right> ]-
| *c_<Right>* *c_Right*
| <Right> cursor right
`----

Of course I have on Windows as on Linux.
