* Possible bug in filename completion

I posted the following to gnu.emacs.help:

I have a directory ~/etest containing the following files:

blah
blahblah
blah-blah
blah-1

If I C-x C-f and navigate to this directory, then hit space ONCE, I
see in the minibuffer:

Find file: ~/etest/blah

If I hit space again, I see:

Find file: ~/etest/blah-

If I hit space again, I see that, plus the completions list: blah-1
and blah-blah. It seems to ignore the files without dashes in the name.

Version info: 21.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of 2005-01-24 on btinstall

This behavior happens whether or not I use my init file. I've done a
great deal of internet searching and can't find any mention of this
behavior, or if there's a way to tweak it to get the behavior I'm
expecting.

Let me know if you need more information.

thanks,
Anne

You can press TAB instead of space, or you can use:

(define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map " " 'minibuffer-complete)

if you don't want to retrain your fingers.

(Note that in Emacs 22, space no longer completes.)
