[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.9.1; autocompletion of file path always uses initial working directory

[François Michonneau]

Hello,

  Imagine the following scenario.

1. Start ESS for R (M-x R)
2. Enter the working directory (e.g. /home/francois)
3. Use a function that takes a file name as argument: (e.g. read.table)
and say that I want to read the file named "someData.data" in the
directory "/home/francois". So, at the prompt, I type
'read.table(file="s' and hit TAB to autocomplete, then everything works
well and I get: 'read.table(file="/home/francois/someData.data'
4. Change the working directory using setwd() to
"/home/francois/myProject/"
5. Let's say that I want to read the file someOtherData.data that is in
"/home/francois/myProject", so at the prompt I type 'read.table(file="s'
and hit TAB to autocomplete, then I get
'read.table(file="/home/francois/someData.data' where I should get
'read.table(file="/home/francois/myProject/someOtherData.data'

  Thanks!
