[h-e-w] Strange Problem (perhaps even a bug!)

[Paul Whitfield]

We have discovered some strange behaviour here when using
the windows dialog find-file (i.e. doing a find file via the
menu).

To reproduce this

open a file say c:\temp\test.c (does not matter how you open this one)

open a file using the menu bar c:\temp\test2.c

Now view the buffers and you get

 MR Buffer           Size  Mode         File
 -- ------           ----  ----         ----
.   crap.c             12  C            d:/temp/test1.c
    test.c             18  C            d:\temp\test.c
    *scratch*           0  Lisp Interaction
 *  *Messages*        554  Fundamental
    *Compile-Log*       0  Fundamental


As you can see test.c has the directory separators in
"windows" way

Now if you open test.c again via find file you get two test.c
buffers.

Has anyone else come across this?
Is there a work around (other than not using the
stupid windows file open dialogue) ?

Best regards
