23.0.60; Cycling between possible completion points in partial-completion-mode |

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I have the following directories below ~/uni/repos/
re-group/
redseeds-main/
redseeds-uko/
When I do
C-x C-f ~/uni/repos/re-<TAB>
the completions are shown and point moves before the hyphen. To
complete to re-group/ I have to move point explicitly to the end using
`C-e' and enter the g followed by an additional <TAB>.
I think it would be very convenient if <TAB> cycled between all possible
completion points, starting with the last position if the current entry
matches the start of an item completely. So in my example
C-x C-f ~/uni/repos/re-<TAB>
would pop up the completion list and let point stay at the end. An
additional <TAB> would move point to before the hyphen. Another <TAB>
would move it to the end again.
Is that possible?
It's all tested with emacs -Q.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

pmail-* will be renamed to rmail-* before the release, so we don't need
to worry about this.
This thread seems to be over, so I'm closing the bug in the tracker.
