Non ascii-characters and File Completion

[Florian Beck <abstraktion@t-online.de>]

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.
