[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.2.4; Bad file name completion in emacs on Windows

[小野 啓]

I am using R-2.0.1, ESS-5.2.4 and Meadow 2.10 (Multilingual emacs,
based on emacs-21.3) on Windows XP.

In interactive R session, file name completions are strange.
In the following texts, [TAB] means the position I hit the tab key.

> scan("c:/[TAB]

shows completion lists such as

/cygwin
/Documents and Settings
...

However,

> scan("c:/cyg[TAB]
or
> scan("c:/Doc[TAB]

brings "No completions of cyg" or "No completions of Doc" message.

Also,

> scan("c:/Documents and Messages/[TAB]

is changed to

> scan("c:/Documents and c:/cygwin/home/hiraku/Messages/

These are strange, I think.

In your mailing list archive, a similar case was found (from Jack
Tanner, Sep 9 2004), but its not completely same as my case.

Thank you,
