I have the same problem, and it also won't tab complete file names |
| 26 |
inside back quotes as it used to. If I have /tmp/fix-me-now, this |
| 27 |
will simply beep. It used to work. I have gotten so used to gentoo |
| 28 |
enhancements screwing up things like this that I won't waste time |
| 29 |
filing bug reports or whining on the mailing liost until it has gone |
| 30 |
several weeks without being fixed. I figure sooner or later some dev |
| 31 |
will notice it without haviung to ignore my whinings in the mean time. |

$ emacs `cat /tmp/fix[TAB] |
