I report again a bug that repeated to me many times;
I have a shell opened , and even if I am in the directory /x/y/z, when I press <TAB>, it expands the completion from the directory "X", not from Z, as expected.
To me TAB executes so:
TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command comint-dynamic-complete
Inside comint-dynamic-complete, one executes the hook comint-dynamic-complete-functions, which are
(comint-replace-by-expanded-history comint-dynamic-complete-filename)
I will keep the session opened, and maybe somebody tells me what to report more than that.

Emacs tries to keep track of which directory you are in, but it is
straightforward to confuse it. Eg:
emacs -Q -f shell
cd ~
alias foobar=cd
foobar /tmp
and Emacs will still think you are in ~/.
So we need to know what you did starting from emacs -Q to confuse it,
before we can say if it is something that can reasonably be fixed.

More information was requested more than a year ago, but was apparently
not given, so I'm closing this bug report. If the bug still exists,
please reopen the report.
