Hi, Carsten,
It seems I found the cause of this.
I have the following in my emacs config:
(setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 2))))
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path t)
When using org-refile, the completion suggestions I got is (using
example in my original example)
Level 1 heading (xyz.org)
Level 1 heading / Level 2 heading (xyz.org)
Note there is a space between "Level 1 heading" and "(xyz.org)", so
if I type "Level" and press TAB key, the minibuffer will get a
completion up to "Level 1 heading" without the space, and I though
this is a valid selection but org-mode refuses to take it. What is
actually happening is, org-mode needs the " (xyz.org)" too. so if I
add a space after "Level 1 heading", and press TAB key again, the
minibuffer will get a completion to "Level 1 heading (xyz.org)" and
now org-mode thinks this is a valid selection.
My feeling is the above is a little bit counter-intuitive. If there
is no multiple files with the same heading "Level 1 heading", I would
think "Level 1 heading" should be considered a valid selection from
the completion buffer. What do you think?
In principle, I tend to agree but I don't know how to tweak completion
to act like this. Have you considered to set
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)
? This would get rid of the problem by moving the file name to the
beginning of the
completion string.

Yes, this may be difficult to implement... (although in org-mode, a lot
of things I thought were difficult or nearly impossible are actually
there. I guess my expectation has been elevated. :))
I think typing the file name will be more work (I am lazy :)) than
pressing the space key, so I prefer the current setting.
Thank you.
Wanrong
