- Well, my zsh (2.2.0) exhibits neither of these quirks. It does, however,
- have a very irritating problem.
-
- If I su root (or any user, for that matter), and then change directories
- and try to edit a file using emacs, emacs DOESN'T FIND THE FILE! If I do
- a pwd, it tells me that my default directory is where I think I am, but
- emacs tries to open the file in the directory I was in when I "su'd"!
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- Everything works fine if I use vi, however.
-
- Has anybody seen (and hopefully solved) this one?
-
- Thanks.
