[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]

Subject: 23.0.60; Cycling between possible completion points in partial-completion-mode
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:00:18 +0100

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I have the following directories below ~/uni/repos/

  re-group/
  redseeds-main/
  redseeds-uko/

When I do

  C-x C-f ~/uni/repos/re-<TAB>

the completions are shown and point moves before the hyphen.  To
complete to re-group/ I have to move point explicitly to the end using
`C-e' and enter the g followed by an additional <TAB>.

I think it would be very convenient if <TAB> cycled between all possible
completion points, starting with the last position if the current entry
matches the start of an item completely.  So in my example

  C-x C-f ~/uni/repos/re-<TAB>

would pop up the completion list and let point stay at the end.  An
additional <TAB> would move point to before the hyphen.  Another <TAB>
would move it to the end again.

Is that possible?

It's all tested with emacs -Q.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

pmail-* will be renamed to rmail-* before the release, so we don't need
to worry about this.

This thread seems to be over, so I'm closing the bug in the tracker.
