Yes, that was my second thought too. I use Ido-mode. It does do strange things sometimes. I disabled and re-enabled it and I can't reproduce the issue any more. Ido-mode is great, but when it does something unexpected, I find it difficult to track down what causes it. (Assuming that Ido-mode is indeed the culprit.) I'll test some more to see if the problem is gone or returns. Thanks!
