- I typed ^X^FWidget<SPC>
-
- (I didn't think to do an immediate ^Hl to see if that was *really* what
- I typed, so I'm not 100% sure)
-
- Emacs should have displayed another buffer to display the (several) file
- completions in. It did a garbage collection (for what seemed slightly
- longer than usual), and returned with:
-
- Find file: ..^@.^@^@^@,^@,^ANK^@^X^@^HMakefile^@
-
- I believe that the first "^@" was in fact a NUL character because when I
- hit RETURN, it went into dired mode on the directory .. I assume that
- the other carets in this string also introduce control characters.
- There was a file named "Makefile" in the current directory I wanted to
- read the initial file from.
-
- I cannot reproduce this bug, and I have never seen it before in nearly a
- year of constant daily use of this emacs executable.
