Strange, that's not what I see.  If I type "C-x C-f", type a few
characters that should match several file names, then press C-TAB, the
cursor is placed on the first character I typed, making more typing
cumbersome, because I need first type C-e or somesuch to get to the
end of what I typed.  Isn't that what you see?
