24.0.50; Visiting a remote file in one server, when default directory is in another one |
|
Date: |
Fri, 29 Jul 2011 10:56:11 +0200 |
Recipe from "emacs -Q":
1. Change the current buffer's default directory to some path in
"host-a": M-x cd <RET> /address@hidden:/dir-a <RET>.
2. Try to visit some (existing) file in host-b: C-x C-f
/address@hidden:/path-to-some-file <RET>.
Note that, in step #2, just before hitting <RET>, the contents of the
minibuffer are:
/address@hidden:/dir-a//address@hidden:/path-to-some-file
Expected behavior: the file "/path-to-some-file" (from "host-b") is visited.
Observed behavior: an error occurs, because Emacs tried to visit a
(nonexistent) file in "host-a", whose path is
"/address@hidden:/path-to-some-file".
Note also a different but related problem: the highlighting of the
minibuffer text is consistent with the current behavior (only the
"/dir-a/" part is in gray color). Thus, this should be fixed too, to
make it consistent with the right behavior. I.e., in this example, the
part in gray should be "/address@hidden:/dir-a/".

I have added a link.

Done.

Thanks for reporting, and best regards, Michael.
