Subject: Wrong common substring highlighted in Completion buffer
Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2005 12:14:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vexx1r63.fsf@jurta.org> (raw)

After typing `C-h f read-mini C-b C-b C-b C-b TAB' wrong common
substrings are highlighted in the *Completions* buffer.  The
substring "read-mini" is highlighted, but really completion is
performed on the substring "read-" before point in the minibuffer.

The function returning the right minibuffer substring is
minibuffer_completion_contents.  I believe the following patch
is correct.
