If you enable ido with (setq ido-auto-merge-work-directories-length -1)
and evaluate:
(read-file-nameĀ "Picture name:" "/tmp" nil nil "defaultname.png")
and go at the end of the buffer with C-e (not sure why the cursor is not
there by default), and press C-f to come back to a normal file prompt
(not using ido), then the initial text is written one more time, so the
prompt is now:
/tmp/defaultname.png*defaultname.png
where * is the position of the cursor. I would expect C-f in that case
to just prompt /tmp/defaultname.png.
Is this in "emacs -Q"? Because I cannot reproduce the problem: when I
type C-f and get to the end of the file name, Emacs says "[End of
buffer]", and that's all.
Could it be due to some customizations of yours? I see a lot of
active modes that are not turned on by default.
