Did it ever work for you? I doubt it.

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. Alin Soare.
