bug#15385: [Eshell] Directory completion overwrites preceding characters


From: Joost Kremers
Subject: bug#15385: [Eshell] Directory completion overwrites preceding characters
Date: Sun, 15 Sep 2013 16:11:44 +0200
User-agent: mu4e 0.9.9.5; emacs 24.3.1

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

==============================

Starting from `emacs -Q', if I do

   (setq eshell-cmpl-ignore-case t)

and then start up a shell, TAB completion behaves incorrectly under some
conditions.

Specifically, I type a command such as:

    $ cp ~/Dropbox/Work/Reading/Wilbur_Martinez2002.pdf ~/Dro

At this point, I hit TAB to complete `~/Dro' and get:

    $ cp ~/Dropbox/Work/Reading/Wilbur_Martine/home/joost/Dropbox/

Note that the problem does *not* occur with the first file path. If I
hit TAB to complete

    $ cp ~/Dro

then completion produces the correct result:

    $ cp ~/Dropbox/

It seems the problem occurs when the file path is the second argument on
the command line, because if I type:

    $ ls ~/Dropbox/Work/Literature/k/kim2002.pdf ~/dro

and hit TAB to complete, the result is also:

    $ ls ~/Dropbox/Work/Literature/k/ki/home/joost/Dropbox/

It does not occur when there is a switch preceding the file path:

    $ ls -l ~/dro

completes fine.

Thanks,

Joost Kremers
