It does. Ideally, shouldn't it print as "/sudo:root@host:/usr/bin/tcsh" instead of "/sudo:root@host:/root//usr/bin/tcsh" anyway?
Currently, it shows "Shell remote path: /ssh:clement@host:/home/clement//bin/bash [No match]"; everything before "/bin/bash" is highlighted and read-only, and pressing RET doesn't do anything. Instead I need to press C-e to get into edit mode then RET to get "/ssh:clement@host:/bin/bash", and finally I can confirm with RET.

Cheers,
Clément.
