Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/23.0.60 (gnu/linux) |
I've got read-file-name-completion-ignore-case set to t, and in a
*shell* buffer I just typed
cd art TAB
Now, there's a subdirectory called Artemis2, and so the TAB caused
completion, so that my input line now looks like
$ cd artemis2/
The problem, though, is that the "cd" command fails, because the file
system is case-sensitive, and thus "artemis2" is not the same as
"Artemis2". I wish TAB had instead made my input line look like
$ cd Artemis2/
Curiously, completion works as I'd expect in the minibuffer. That is,
if I type
M-x cd RET ~/art TAB
I see
Change default directory: ~/Artemis2/
which is exactly right.

I've checked in a fix. Could you give current CVS trunk a test?
