In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-05-05 on rosewood configured using `configure --prefix=/proj/wdt/gnu_sun5.8/emacs-21.3' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: C locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I use the mini-buffer completion mode quite a lot. For the most part it seems to work just fine. However, at time, it seems to completely complete at times when there are ambiguous entries. I also have the case-ignore variable set to ignore character case. Usually it is when I am in RMAIL an outputting a message to a folder. I will do something like this o output to folder all finds ALLMAIL new finds NEWJOB bo At this point it would pick the folder bob automatically. This ignorged the fact that there was a "borg" folder. If I delete back to "bo" then hit it will show both selections as I originally expected.
