It seems that some characters are displayed wrong in the minibuffer when I save a file.
In *Messages* buffer it displays correctly as: Wrote d:/- Johans/träning/2007.txt But in minibuffer the ä-character gets escaped: Wrote d:/- Johans/tr\344ning/2007.txt I'm running GNU Emacs 22.0.99.1 on Win XP using Swedish keymap. I have tried both (setq file-name-coding-system 'iso-8859-15) (setq file-name-coding-system 'utf-8) as well as supplying nothing. All give the wrong display. I have not touched the variable default-file-name-coding-system and it's value is iso-latin-1-dos if that is relevant. I suspect this is a bug.
