Subject: bug#12092: 24.1; Completion cycling completely broken in shell
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2012 13:24:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878ve1xzif.fsf@blackbird.nest.zamazal.org> (raw)
When completion-cycle-threshold is set to a non-nil value, completion
starts doing weird things in interactive shells and becomes unusable.
Just one example:
M-x set-variable RET completion-cycle-threshold RET t RET (enable completion cycling)
M-x shell RET (start an interactive shell)
cd /usr/ (type in a partial command line)
TAB (initial completion; `../ ' is inserted which is fine)
TAB (repeated completion; `../ ' is replaced with `.' and an error is signalled)
The error message is something like:
minibuffer-force-complete: Args out of range: 615, 618
