Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I have the following directories below ~/uni/repos/ re-group/ redseeds-main/ redseeds-uko/ When I do C-x C-f ~/uni/repos/re-<TAB> the completions are shown and point moves before the hyphen. To complete to re-group/ I have to move point explicitly to the end using `C-e' and enter the g followed by an additional <TAB>. I think it would be very convenient if <TAB> cycled between all possible completion points, starting with the last position if the current entry matches the start of an item completely. So in my example C-x C-f ~/uni/repos/re-<TAB> would pop up the completion list and let point stay at the end. An additional <TAB> would move point to before the hyphen. Another <TAB> would move it to the end again. Is that possible? It's all tested with emacs -Q.

FWIW the default completion now includes partial-completion-like behavior. So you may want to turn off partial-completion-mode in Emacs-23 (you may also want to tweak completion-styles to bring the completion behavior closer to partial-completion-mode by removing `basic'). It won't really answer your question, but it will slightly change the behavior (e.g. point will not move to before the hyphen any more, at least not until there's something to be typed at point).

I did that and like the behavior. It's even better (simpler) than cycling around. Is partial-completion-mode going to be removed because of that new feature?
