There is a problem on path completion in emacs on windows. See following

It moves the path one char to the left.

Why are you using backslashes in Eshell?

Mainly when i pasting paths from clipboard. Eshell can handle backslash.

This issue is resolved as of Emacs 28.2 (or possibly earlier). On MS 
Windows, if I type "cd C:\Windows" in Eshell and press TAB, it completes 
to "cd c:/Windows/" with the space after "cd" preserved correctly, which 
is what I'd expect.

Closing this issue now, though if there are still problems, just let me 
know.

(Note that since "\" is the escape character in Eshell, you need to be 
careful about using it as the directory separator in general, but I 
don't think that's really a bug; just a thing for MS Windows users to be 
aware of.)
