ido-mode and next/previous match

ido-mode and next/previous match

[Martin Butz]

Hi,

it might be a missunderstandig on my side, but ido does not behave, as I 
expect.

I hit C-x C-f, get a list of files (based on the current buffers 
directory as I understand) and I can cycle through the list using C-s / 
C-r.

E.g. after C-x C-f Minibuffer shows:

~/org

and ido-list

ab.org
bc.org
cd.org

As soon as I type some characters to narrow the search, C-s/C-r do not 
work anymore. E.g.:

~/org

and ido-list

-> ab.org
bc.org
cd.org

I type "b"; ido offers

-> ab.org
bc.org

but I can not cycle anymore.

Is this the usual behaviour? Is something wrong?

Any feedback appreciated...
Thanks
Martin

I do not understand. You type "b", what do you think C-s/C-r could do
other than list other candidates ?

IMO, this is normal and expected behaviour. At least, it makes sense to me.

Yes, something is wrong.  This works for me.  Try to see if you can
reproduce the problem with emacs -q.

Thanks WGG,

at least I know now, that I am not completely wrong.
