Subject: bug#10085: Tramp method completions

Hi,
I reported this bug to the tramp-devel mailing list and was told that
this bug was already reported as Bug#10085.
This bug is still present in GNU Emacs 25.0.92.1
Should I open up a new bug report and have Bug#10085 merged
with it so that this old bug (initially reported in November, 2011).
may receive renewed attention? Or should I just add my bug report
to Bug#10085 as I am now doing?
Here is my bug report below.
Thanks.
I'm having a problem with Tramp and completion.
1. I type C-x C-f (find-file)
I see "Find file: ~/ in the echo area
2. I type /ssh: and TAB
I see as completion candidates
Click on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:
ssh:127.0.0.1:
ssh:localhost.localdomain:
ssh:localhost:
3. I type : so the prompt now displays:
Find file: ~//ssh::
4. I press TAB and see the error:
Tramp: Opening connection for ssh using ssh...failed
Now the prompt says:
Find file: ~//ssh:ssh:
and, of course, if I were to press another TAB it would yields
a "[No match]" message
5. If I then remove the ~/ and second ssh from prompt so that it
now displays:
Find file: /ssh::
and press TAB, the completion candidates now yield:
Click on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:
ssh:127.0.0.1: ssh:localhost.localdomain:
ssh:localhost: ssh:ssh:
Why was ssh:ssh added as a completion canidate?
This probably why the prompt now shows:
Find file: /ssh:ssh
6. If I then remove the second ssh: so that prompt shows:
Find file: /ssh::
and press TAB, I get the error:
Tramp: Opening connection for ssh using ssh...failed
and the prompt returns back to:
Find file: /ssh:ssh:
It appears that once Tramp gets ahold of ~// it doesn't
let go.
This is into contrast to not invoking Tramp.
Consider:
C-x C-f
and the prompt
Find file: ~/
and typing /etc so that the prompt is now:
Find file: ~//etc
Pressing TAB yields
Find file: ~//etc/
and another TAB shows the files in /etc as completion
canndidates.
The ~/ here (and in Tramp after step 2 above) is greyed out.
Also, it appears that
~//ssh:: TAB
~//ssh:localhost: TAB
behave diffently as it appears that ~//ssh:localhost: TAB works as I
expect whereas ~//ssh:: TAB does not.
Perhaps :: doesn't imply localhost?
Thanks.
