Hello,
I do not know where or how to report a problem with things on
"emacswiki" - so I am trying here.
If someone knows a better place, please let me know.
-Duane
This problem is specific to:
(A) emacs - windows prebuilt binary from ftp.gnu.org - (downloaded and
found this bug yesterday)
I can also duplicate with emacs-23.1
(B) CYGWIN
(C) "cygwin-mount.el" found
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/download/cygwin-mount.el
(D) Filename(TAB) completion in the minibuffer using the above.
Short description:
Filename 'tab-completion' with cygwin-mount.el corrupts completion
======
Steps to reproduce:
(1) Emacs-23.2 (or 23.1) prebuilt windows binary from ftp.gnu.org
(2) Construct a simple directory structure as follows:
My hunch is this problem has to do with the 'depth' of filenames, or
number of slashes present (see VARIANT below)

bash-3.2$
=======
(3) Type 'ctrl-x, ctrl-x' [aka: find-file]
(4) In the minibuffer - type/replace the text with:
/home/duane/foo/bar/conf (then STOP).
(5) Press <TAB> one time, this causes "filename-completion" to occur.
The minibuffer shows (adding the "ig<period>"
Find file: c:/cygwin/home/duane/foo/bar/config.
AND: The prefix: "c:/cygwin" becomes *GREY* in the minibuffer.
(6) Press <TAB> a second time, the minibuffer is now corrupt and shows:
Find file: c:/cygwinc:/cygwin/home/duane/foo/bar/config.
Note the two "c:/cygwin" prefixes - that is the bug I am reporting
<TAB> completion no longer works as the candidate text is now corrupt.
(7) If I repeat the process, starting at "/home/duane/foo" - I do not
have this problem.
=====
NOTE:
I originally found this when building GDB/Insight from source, and
reduced steps to the above sequence.
This problem does not occur with (a) a very old (+5 years) version of
'cygwin-mount.el' and (b) an older version of windows-emacs.
I do not understand emacs lisp and/or the tab-completion code well
enough to debug/fix this problem.
=====
VARIANTS - - in this form (and others like it), I cannot reproduce the
problem
Step (a) start emacs {I click on a windows short cut to 'runemacs.exe')
Step (b) type ^X-^F, the mini buffer starts at:
C:\emacs\bin/ -> NOTICE the two different slashes
Step (c) type /home/duane/foo/bar/con <STOP> do not press more keys
Mini buffer now shows:
Find file: C:\emacs\bin//home/duane/foo/bar/con
NOTES:
After typing the first "/" (minibuffer shows: "c:\emacs\bin//" -
the original content is shown grayed out
Step (d) press TAB to attempt completion.
In this scenario, I cannot cause the problem to occur.
