Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
emacs -Q
M-!
ls d:/gnu/emacs/lisp
Move point so that the cursor is on the slash between "emacs" and
"lisp", and type TAB. At this point, the *Completions* buffer pops up
with the following possibilities:
Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:
emacs-21.4/ emacs-22-branch/ emacs-22.x/
emacs-23.pre-unicode/ emacs-bidi/ emacs-rtf/
emacs/
(Depending on your system, you will see something different.)
Clicking on "emacs-22-branch/" produces this in the minibuffer:
emacs-22-branch//lisp
But I expected it to replace only the "emacs" part (because this is
what it evidently produced the possible completions for), so that I
will see "ls d:/gnu/emacs-22-branch/lisp".
This was on MS-Windows, but I see the same behavior on GNU/Linux:
picking up a completion replaces the whole input, up to the position
of point.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
d:/gnu/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Could you test the following patch (admittedly a bit of a hack)?

Sorry for the long delay. I tested the patch now on MS-Windows, and I
still see two slashes, exactly like in the original report. The
problem seems to be that minibuffer-completing-file-name is nil when
the modified code is run.

Do you still see this? I don't think I do.

No, but it still isn't right: it inserts an extra slash. That is, I
get something like "d:/gnu/emacs-foo//lisp". The extra slash in this
situation is really not nice...
This happens both with Emacs 23.3 RC1 and with the development trunk.
