Subject: bug#65120: 29.1; directory-abbrev-alist breaks various things when inside an abbreviated directory
Date: Sun, 06 Aug 2023 18:35:22 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m08rann3kv.fsf@epic96565.epic.com> (raw)
Emacs behaves oddly inside abbreviated directories when
`directory-abbrev-alist' is set.
$ emacs -Q
lisp> (setq directory-abbrev-alist `(("~/tmp" . "tmp")))
keys> C-x d ~/tmp RET
keys> C-x C-f
I see "tmp/" in the minibuffer and no completions are available.
I've also seen (dired "~/tmp") fail on Windows in this scenario --
complaining that the directory is inaccessible. On both systems, ~/tmp
does exist (and has content) and behaves as expected if
`directory-abbrev-alist' is nil.
Paring down to a minimal example on Windows is considerably more work
than it is on *nix, though, and I suspect the two symptoms have the same
root cause. Nevertheless, if it should help, I can do that leg-work
sometime this week.
