That's on purpose: C-x b is about moving to another buffer, so it explicitly excludes the current buffer. TAB excludes the current buffer from completion, so that you can more often get a useful completion result. However, listing the available completions is a different issue. Omitting the current buffer there is not beneficial; it only gives the user less useful information. There, the current buffer should be included. Basically, try-complete should exclude the current buffer but all-completions should include it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
