When I change the current directory using "cd new_dir", the tab-completion will recognize the new directory. For example, supposing that I am in pwd=X and I execute "cd /root". Then ls <tab> will show the correct answer in *Completion* (the files from /root).

On the contrary, when I memorize the current directory (X) using pushd, then I make cd <new_dir>, then I execute popd, the *Completion* buffer will show the files from the directory <new_dir>, even I executed in the meantime popd. It should have displayed the files from X... 

Can somebody solve this bug, please? I do not have time to watch the code now...


Thanks,

A Soare

The precise recipe is missing, but the following sequence:

emacs -Q -f shell
cd /tmp
pushd

is not a valid sequence in the bash shell, because pushd with no
arguments exchanges the top two elements in the directory stack, and
the directory stack is empty at this point.

This on the other hand works fine, as it should:

emacs -Q -f shell
cd /tmp
pushd /usr
cd bin
popd


If you are using tcsh with pushdtohome set, you want to set
shell-pushd-tohome.

You need to provide a recipe from emacs -Q that says what the problem
is, what your shell is, and any relevant shell options you have set.

Thanks.

I cannot reproduce the bug today, but it happened to me many times, and it will happen again. I will report in detail.
