If the symbols as alist keys are replaced with strings, it does not fail. However, both cases are supposed to work. So this is a bug. ------- Start of forwarded message ------- To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org From: John J Foerch Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 11:53:42 -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: completing-read X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none autolearn=failed version=3.0.4 Hello, The following code exhibits a behavior of completing-read that I would call a bug. Or am I missing something? (let ((table '((foo . "you selected foo") (foobar . "you selected foobar")))) (completing-read "Symbol: " table nil 'require-match)) The unexpected behavior is that it is impossible to select `foo'.
