Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug:
In a shell, create a new directory and cd there. > touch Foo Foobar > emacs -Q In the *scratch* buffer, type: (setq read-file-name-completion-ignore-case t) C-j M-x partial-completion-mode <return> C-x C-f foo <tab> I expected it to change "foo" to "Foo", because all possible completions begin with "Foo". That's what it does if you don't enable partial-completion-mode. But with partial-completion-mode enabled, it stays "foo" and Emacs displays the list of possible completions. If you type "b <tab>", it will change "foob" to "Foobar" (as expected). This used to work in Emacs 21.3.1 (although there the variable is completion-ignore-case instead). I first noticed the bug a couple months ago, but it's still present in the CVS HEAD version I compiled yesterday.
