Subject: 23.1.90; find-dired prompt bug
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:33:02 +0100

emacs-version: GNU Emacs 23.1.90.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.2.0, NS apple-appkit-1038.25) of 2010-02-23

To trigger bug:
emacs -Q
M-x ido-mode
M-x ido-everywhere
M-x find-dired

Bug symptons:
Impossible to choose directory since 'current directory' (.) is not in the ido-alternatives. Pressing return just enters the directory rather than
choosing it.

Bug reason:
In find-dired (find-dired.el): The first prompt argument in interactive is read-file-name.

Bug solution:
In find-dired (find-dired.el): The first prompt argument in interactive should be read-directory-name.

Thanks for reporting the bug, and investigating.  I've checked the fix
into the trunk.

Hi,

When looking in command find-dired in find-dired.el, the bug is still there (running GNU Emacs 23.3.1 x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.35 of 2011-03-10)

Regards,

/Stefan Guath

The fix was never in the Emacs 23 branch. It will be in Emacs 24.
You might like to try http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ .

Ok, thanks! I reverted from 24 to 23 because font-lock was too slow... Hope that will improve. Thanks for a fantastic product - you're doing an incredible work!

I don't know of any pending bug report about font-lock being slow, so
it's unlikely to improve.  Are you talking about slowness of processing
of the output of find-dired (which should still be about as fast/slow
with or without font-lock)?
