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
