Subject: bug#37883: 27.0.50; read-file-name: Scrambled INITIAL
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2019 11:23:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sgnj24t8.fsf@web.de> (raw)
Hello,
in emacs -Q (with default-directory -> ~/)
(read-file-name-default "File: " nil nil nil "~/.bash_history" nil)
prompts with default minibuffer contents "/:~/~/.bash_history". No part
of that is shadowed (to indicate which part is meaningful). Without
fully understanding how the initial contents are calculated, it doesn't
seem very useful with the doubled ~/. Why can't INITIAL be used
literally?
TIA,
Michael.
