It's a new feature because it will have to be customizable. I don't want my shell buffers auto-complete with backslashes, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. > C:\myecvs> dir bld/emacs<RET> > dir bld/emacs > Invalid switch - "emacs". That's a different problem, because I could type the full command "dir foo/bar" without using auto-completion, and it would still fail. It could be solved in cmdproxy, for example. If you have time to work on this, please do. > It is a bug and I offered a solution which I think is safe. It isn't safe enough for this time. > The pretest is for fixing bugs. Only those that don't run the risk of introducing more complex bugs. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
