Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

If I type "~/.sylpheed/sylpheed.log" and press <tab> then I get the message [Complete but not unique] as expected. Emacs seems to work correctly on similar examples, just not this one. I tried this running emacs -q to make sure it wasn't a result of my configuration.
