But if `' can complete to a non-directory file name, then it does. For example, on my system `C-x d /usr/lib/libv TAB' completes to '/usr/lib/libvisual' and after a second TAB the *Completions* buffer displays: Possible completions are: libvisual-0.4/ libvisual/ But `C-x d /usr/lib/libvisual-0.4. TAB' completes to '/usr/lib/libvisual-0.4.so.0' and after a second TAB the *Completions* buffer displays: Possible completions are: libvisual-0.4.so.0 libvisual-0.4.so.0.0.0 Typing `C-x C-f /usr/lib/libvis TAB' completes to '/usr/lib/libvisual' and after a second TAB the *Completions* buffer displays: Possible completions are: libvisual-0.4.so.0 libvisual-0.4.so.0.0.0 libvisual-0.4/ libvisual/ (In Emacs 22.2, `C-x d [or: C-x C-f] /usr/lib/libvis TAB' does just the latter.) This is with -Q, and I get the same behavior with completion-styles set to any of `basic', `emacs21', emacs22', or `partial-completion'.
