completion problem with read-file-name

emacs -Q

Create files qqq.el and qq-xxx-q.el in the same directory. Visit Dired
there.

C-x C-f qqq.el TAB, then C-b C-b C-b C-b, then type -xxx TAB.

The minibuffer input is completed to qq-xxx-q.elq.el (with the cursor
on the last `q').

In previous versions of Emacs, completion used the entire minibuffer
input, not just the part before the cursor.  I don't know if this
change is considered a feature, but it seems like a bug to me.  To me,
the old behavior makes sense: all of your input is tested by
completion, not just the part before point.


In GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Ic:/gnuwin32/include'
