In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00, Motif Version 2.1.0) of 2002-03-18 on rds294 configured using `configure --cache-file=/dev/null --host=hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00 --prefix=/home/rdstt1/t901353/local --with-x-toolkit=motif --with-png' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: C locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: One of the users here has a file thusly: -rw-rw-r-- 1 tomw bob 2399830016 Apr 11 11:41 sample.file Which GNU ls does list in a dired properly, albeit the filenames are not aligned etc. But he has a emacs-lisp defun that prompts him for various input, one of which is the above "sample.file" filename. The file completion does not find the file. He is not trying to read the file itself, just get the filename and then he runs a shell job with the inputs gained from his elisp... The line below demostates the problem: (setq tommy (read-file-name "Enter the name: ")) You can start typing "sa" at the prompt, then hit "tab" and all files that start with "sa" are displayed except the "sample.file". Why doesn't this file show up?
