Dear community,

Is there are way to make Emacs to close the *Completions* buffer
automatically after sending the line as input in a shell mode?
E.g., in a shell mode I type
  cd s<TAB>
Emacs shows me the all filenames which begins with 's' in
*Completions* buffer. If I type 'rc/'<RET> then, so the complete
input will
  cd src/<RET>
I've successfully change the current directory in the shell, but
*Completions* buffer will remains.
When I visit a file via C-x C-f Emacs automatically close *Completions*
buffer if it was shown by <TAB>.
Is it possible to make Emacs automatically close *Completions* buffer,
of the shell mode in a such way?

Regards,
Dmitriy

Not really.  There are various kludges you can try, but really it's
a bug.
