I just noticed also, that if I immediately type a 2nd '?': C-x C-f / u s r / b i n / g n u p l o ? ? then I see a giant list of 'possible completions': Click on a completion to select it. In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point. Possible completions are: ./ ../ 411toppm 7z 7za 7zr 822-date AbiWord-2.4 This must be a bug, right? ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug

The bug is that the message says: "There are no possible completions of what you have typed" when in fact there are possible completions of what I have typed. Better behaviour would be to either modify the message to indicate that it isn't known whether there are possible completions because we didn't look yet, or better, to look (like what happens when SPC or TAB is pressed). > No, it doesn't go to bin/ since there is another possible completion.

Look at ido-max-directory-size.
In this case C-a is your friend.

No, it suggests that /usr contains two directories 'bin' and 'sbin' that
match what you wrote.

No, it doesn't go to bin/ since there is another possible completion.
You can modify this by setting ido-enter-matching-directory to 'first.
So no errors here :-)
