1. Emacs -Q

2. partial-completion-mode

=> partial-completion-mode on

3. gdba

=>Run gdba (like this): gdb -annotate=3 /g/e/ <TAB>

comint-dynamic-complete-as-filename: Opening directory: no such file or directory, /g/e/ [2 times]

However, to me emacs is installed in /gnu/emacs, et cetera.

The same error, but if reversed the error is expected. In this current form, this reported error is a bug.

This is a bug.

Not to forget about.

We can say so. But it is sure that it is a feature that must me present as time as partial-completion-mode is active.

It reads a file name in fact, and because partial completion is on, when I press TAB after /g/e I expect to see /gnu/emacs, because in the root of my filesystem the only one directory that starts with 'g' is gnu, and the only dir. from /gnu is emacs et cetera.

I do not think that such a feature ever existed, so I think this is not a bug, just a missing feature.
