Non ascii-characters and File Completion

Non ascii-characters and File Completion

[Florian Beck]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

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:

(cd "~/tmp")
(shell-command "touch file-ä-text")
(shell-command "touch file-ö-text")
C-x C-f file<tab>

This completes up to "file-ä" (and ignores "file-ö")

Another tab comletes to »file-ä-text".

C-x C-f file<tab><backspace>ö<tab> correctly completes "touch
file-ö-text".

Seems like C-x C-f completes one character too many.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

That works as expected for me under GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1
(i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.3) of 2008-02-01 on localhost.
(I'm a Swede so I use those characters as well.)

Have you tried the same with emacs -Q?

Here are my Important settings:
  value of $LC_ALL: nil
  value of $LC_COLLATE: en_US.UTF-8
  value of $LC_CTYPE: en_US.UTF-8
  value of $LC_MESSAGES: en_US.UTF-8
  value of $LC_MONETARY: sv_SE.UTF-8
  value of $LC_NUMERIC: sv_SE.UTF-8
  value of $LC_TIME: en_US.UTF-8
  value of $LANG: en_US.UTF-8
  value of $XMODIFIERS: @im=none
  locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix
  default-enable-multibyte-characters: t

Yes. Same problem. 

However, the bug disappears when I get rid of my experimental CFLAGS.

Sorry for the noise.

Strange effect, though, as I have been using them for quite some time
and this was the only problem I ran into.
