Subject: bug#67830: 30.0.50; find-file completion sometimes unexpectedly omits directories
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2023 23:49:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2ttokv1r2.fsf@metalevel.at> (raw)
To reproduce this issue, please first create the directory ~/issue/.git,
and the file ~/issue/.gitignore, for example with:
$ mkdir issue
$ cd issue/
$ mkdir .git
$ touch .gitignore
Then, from your home directory, start Emacs with:
$ emacs -Q
and do:
C-x C-f ~/issue/.git TAB
As expected, the minibuffer displays:
[Complete, but not unique]
and Emacs also shows the 2 possible completions:
2 possible completions:
.git/
.gitignore
In contrast, when I do:
C-x C-f ~/issue/. TAB
then the minibuffer prematurely completes it to the file:
~/issue/.gitignore
This is even though the directory ~/issue/.git exists, and also forms a
valid and expected completion of "~/issue/.".
The expected behaviour is the same as above, on the grounds that
"~/issue/." is a proper prefix of "~/issue/.git" and therefore should
never yield fewer possible completions.
Thank you and all the best,
Markus
