Hi,

you can reproduce this with emacs -Q.

I use this setting:

(setq read-file-name-completion-ignore-case t
      completion-auto-help t)

In my "~/", I have, among other files,

  lrwxrwxrwx   1 micha micha    9 Feb  3 20:00 download -> Downloads
  drwxr-xr-x  11 micha micha 4,0K Apr  9 15:40 Downloads

I hit C-x d ~/Down TAB

Emacs completes the minibuffer to

  ~/Download

Since this is no valid completion, it should pop up *Completions*, but
it doesn't (first issue).  I hit TAB a second time.  I get this in *Completions*:

  Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it.
  In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
  
  Possible completions are:
  Download/
  Downloads/

It doesn't offer "download".  If I click on "Download/", I get the
message

  `mouse-choose-completion' is an obsolete command (as of 23.2); use
  `choose-completion' instead.

(second issue)

Then it completes the minibuffer content to "~/Download/".  But this
doesn't exist (third and major issue).  I get an error when hitting RET
(of course).


Thanks,

Michael.

Hello,

1.  I tried to debug a bit.

When you hit TAB the second time, this call in
`completion--nth-completion' changes the result from ("download/"
"Downloads/") to ("Download/" "Downloads/"):

   (if requote
        (funcall requote result n)
      result)

2.  I still think that the first TAB already should bring up *Completions* -
although this also doesn't happen when I start with "~/down", so this is
probably a separate issue (and maybe arguable).


Regards,

Michael.

Some more information: this call at the very last lines of
`completion-table-with-quoting':

(when last
 (setcdr last nil)
 (completion--twq-all string ustring
                      unquoted-result base
                      unquote requote))

returns the changed case of the first candidate (from "~/download" to
"~/Download"), i.e., introduces the error.

Here is a backtrace of that point of time:

I can reproduce this behavior manually:

(completion--twq-all
 #1="~/Download"
 #1# '(#("download/" 0 8 (face (completions-common-part)) 8 9 (face (completions-first-difference)))
       #("Downloads/" 0 8 (face (completions-common-part)) 8 9 (face (completions-first-difference))))
 2 'substitute-in-file-name 'completion--sifn-requote)

==>

(#("Download/" 0 8
   (face completions-common-part)
   8 9
   (face
    (completions-first-difference)))
 #("Downloads/" 0 8
   (face completions-common-part)
   8 9
   (face
    (completions-first-difference)))
 . 2)

I can't dig further 'cause I don't know what `completion--twq-all' is or
should do.


HTH,

Michael.

Hmmm........

Indeed we have a problem.  Usually "completion-ignore-case" as you
expect means "feel free to change my input's case to match the
completions".  But the "quote/requote" thingy generally tries to
preserve the user's input (e.g. so as to keep $HOME rather than replace
it with /home/monnier), which is why here it also preserves the
user's case.

Not sure yet how best to fix this bug.

I can't reproduce either of these issues in Emacs 28.  Are you still
seeing this in recent Emacs versions?

The first part is still the same (anything that followed seems to be
fixed), but after reading again the docstring of `completion-auto-help',
I think not to pop up *Completions* seem to be intended since that
completion attempt does not count as unsuccessful:

So I think we are done here and you can close this report.

Thanks,

Thanks for testing; closing this report, then.
