From: sea <sea <at> members.fsf.org> To: 19498 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#19498: 24.3; Dired unable to list single file with backquote-containing name Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2015 17:54:31 -0500
It looks like using dired on a single file with the name "Hit`N`Hide" (without the quotes) doesn't work. It should have opened a dired buffer with just that file listed, but instead it prints the message: insert-directory: Listing directory failed but `access-file' worked I think it might be that any filename with a backquote will result in this behavior when dired is applied to that file only.
