Indeed. > With the new semantics it only does the first one because it will always > (99% cases) succeed (getting the completion-table nearly always > succeeds). Then the code needs to be fixed not to succeed when point is somewhere where that completion doesn't apply. > This is unfortunate because a lot of modes rely on the previous > behaviour to provide rich completions for comint based modes. But that ad-hoc way to combine completions had many downsides (e.g. you can't tell when to hide the *Completions* buffer, you can't provide completion-help-at-point, and it interacts poorly with sophisticated completion-styles). > I noticed this bug because file completion no longer works in > octave-mode. Let's try to focus on this, then. Stefan
