Package: emacs
Version: 21.4.1
Severity: normal
When I have a buffer open to a file in one directory (such as, say,
"/dir1/afile[1-3]", and I have a shell open in emacs and cd to a different
directory, such as "/dir2/afile[4-6]", entering something like 'ls f' and
trying to use the TAB key to expand out possible completions of a word gives
the correct listings for /dir1, not /dir2 (that is, it will give file1, file2,
and file3, not file4, file5, and file6).

I can't reproduce this in the current Emacs, 24.3.
Note that it can happen that the Emacs shell buffer loses track of which
directory you are in,
eg if you use a non-standard command to change directories.
If so, just use M-x shell-resync-dirs to fix things.
If you still have issues with 24.3, I suggest opening a new report
directly with upstream.
