(This bug report unfortunately didn't get any response at the time.) I can confirm that this odd behaviour is still present in Emacs 28. It seems like a bug to me -- the prompt says "Write file: ~/Documents/", but hitting RET insists on writing to `default-directory' in the buffer. I don't use ido-mode for files normally -- are there any ido users here that do? If so, does this seem like expected behaviour to you? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
