Subject: 24.3; ido-find-file bug

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

 I am experiencing a frustrating bug when trying to load a directory at
point using ido-find-file.

 The line I am working on is:

 (add-to-list 'ac-dictionary-directories
"~/.emacs.d/elpa/auto-complete-20141111.2346/dict")

 Point is within the quotes. I try C-x C-f and instead of opening the
directory (which is a valid one, I have checked repeatedly), it instead
suggests that I open "~/.emacs.d/elpa/cider-20141116.1221/dict"

 I can only guess that it is tripping up on auto-complete's directory for
some reason. I have checked other paths though, and ido finds them properly.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately have not received
any responses yet.)

I'm unable to reproduce this bug in Emacs 27.  I installed the
auto-complete package, so I have

~/.emacs.d/elpa/auto-complete-1.4/dict/

If I put point within the quotes here:

(add-to-list 'ac-dictionary-directories
"~/.emacs.d/elpa/auto-complete-1.4/dict")

and say `M-x ido-find-file', I just get the normal ido prompt (starting
from the current directory).

Are you still seeing this problem?

More information was requested some weeks back, but no response was
given, so I'm closing this bug report.  If you're still seeing this
problem, please reopen.
