I&#39;ve noticed that Emacs.app opens up relative pathnames twice -- once for the actual file, and once for the relative pathname appended to the directory of the current buffer.<div>For example, trying to open by &quot;a/b/text.txt&quot; opens &quot;a/b/text.txt&quot; and attempts to open &quot;a/b/a/b/text.txt&quot;.</div>
