Subject: bug#3250: 23.0.93; tab completion flakey with tramp when insert-default-directory is nil
Date: Sat, 09 May 2009 18:37:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A05BF3C.3060606@simplistix.co.uk> (raw)
With the following in my .emacs:
(setq insert-default-directory nil)
tab completion when using tramp to access a remote file becomes flakey.
It seems that the notion of the current working directory becomes lost,
so tab completion ends up with doubled up directories, eg:
/home/chris/afolder/afolder
...where afolder doesn't exist, resulting in errors such as the following:
File error: tramp-handle-file-name-all-completions: Couldn't `cd
/home/chris/afolder/afolder/'
This doesn't happen right away, but I usually end up bumping into it
when navigating
around a folder structure by inserting .. a number of times in the
minibuffer window.
