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.
