Subject: bug#1207: 23.0.60; read-shell-command does not support Windows ".." quoting of file names with embedded white space
Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2008 18:29:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <uod1gk0pj.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
On MS-Windows:
emacs -Q
M-! "C:/Progra TAB
This correctly completes to `"c:/Program Files/'. However, the next
TAB fails with `[No completions of Files/]', which is an evidence that
`read-shell-command' does not pay attention to the fact that the
command begins with a quote character.
If I type the closing quote character manually, then
"C:/Program Files/" TAB
pops up a *Completions* buffer with files in my home directory (???),
which is again incorrect.
When I try similar things on GNU/Linux, completion works correctly,
quoting whitespace with a backslash.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
d:/gnu/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
