Hi Lars,

Thanks! Your fix works for me. I'm not sure if this is the best place to set
completion-ignore-case though. If you look at the code for
comint--complete-file-name-data you will find that
completion-ignore-case is set in the same way that you did. But perhaps
too late because at that point comint-completion-file-name-table has
already been called. Perhaps the best fix is to bind completion-ignore-case
earlier in comint--complete-file-name-data. But if
comint-completion-file-name-table is intended to be called from other places,
then it's better to set completion-ignore-case there as you did.

Best regards,
Carlos
