Here's one problem that I've observed (similar complaints have been reported before): When I type `o' in Gnus to save a Mime attachment, I get a minibuffer prompt like this: Save MIME part to: ~/_foo.txt where _ indicates the position of the cursor. Suppose I want to save the file to a directory named `mystuff' in my home directory. In Emacs 22, I can use completion: Save MIME part to: ~/mys_foo.txt [TAB] Save MIME part to: ~/mystuff/_foo.txt In Emacs 23, I get this: Save MIME part to: ~/mys_foo.txt [TAB] Save MIME part to: ~/mys_foo.txt [No match] This happens because the TAB now takes into account the minibuffer contents after the cursor. Stefan, can you suggest a way to fix this problem?
