Subject: Problem with file completion with Emacs 24.1 on Windows
Date: Thu, 03 May 2012 12:00:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FA2D5D0.3040504@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I have installed Emacs 24 on Windows 7 box from 
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-20120430-r108062-bin-i386.zip.
The version shows "GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 
2012-04-30 on MARVIN".

Sometimes, the file completion with

C-x C-f <type partial name> TAB

does not work. The message buffer says

Making completion list... [2 times]
Assertion failed: (string-prefix-p prefix completion)


Typing more characters helps, but it may stuck again at the next expansion.
Please help.

Thank you,
--Tima
