The following would appear to be a bug `file-name-shadow-mode'. Do emacs -Q.
M-x customize-option RET file-name-shadow-mode RET C-x C-f Then set file-name-shadow-mode to t for the current session using the mouse. You are still in the minibuffer. Clearly, file-name-shadow-mode does not work in that minibuffer. This might be somewhat expected. Worse is that file-name-shadow-mode stays disabled in subsequent invocations of the minibuffer, even though the variable file-name-shadow-mode is t. Sincerely, Luc. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
