From: Tassilo Horn <thorn <at> fastmail.fm> To: emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org Subject: 23.0.60; Wrong file/directory completion in *shell* buffers Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:24:38 +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:
With ZSH (and maybe some option I'm not aware of) you can go up one
directory by typing ".." as a shorthand for "cd ..". Now I have this
directory tree.
foo/
foo/bar/
foo/baz/
foo/baz/one/
foo/baz/two/
I invoke `shell' and change to foo/baz/. Now I type
cd TAB
and the completion shows one/ and two/. Now I go up one directory with
"..". Another
cd TAB
shows again the completions one/ and two/, but I'm in foo/ (as `pwd'
says) now and the correct completions would be bar/ and baz/.
So it seems `default-directory' is only updated with "cd ..", but not
for the shorthand "..".
The same applies if I have an alias xxx="cd foo/bar/baz". Then
xxx RET
cd TAB
will print the completions for the directory I was before.
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.
