Hello,

When trying to expand by putting the cursor after the path and pressing <Tab> 
then (I would say only) the path

~/Downloads

gives an error 

'Path not found'

E.g. 

Try to expand:

~/D

that works.

Also

~/Do

works

But trying the expand 

~/Dow

or similary

~/Down
or also
~/Downl
or also
~/Downlo
or also
~/Downloa
or also
~/Download

give the error.

Then finally

~/Downloads 

works again, expands and does not give the error.

with friendly greetings
Knud van Eeden

Can you try loading fncomp, and see if that works?
Thanks.

~/Downloads/tse/mac/fncomp.s

works as expected at all fncomp.s combinations, thus at f, fn, fnc, fnco, fncom, fncomp, fncomp., fncomp.s

But it fails when doing the expansion at

~/Downloads/tse/m, ~/Downloads/tse/ma, but works again at ~/Downloads/tse/mac
 
It also fails when doing the expansion in

~/Downloads

beginning after the 

~/Do, thus the path err at ~/Dow, ~/Down, ~/Downl, ~/Downlo, ~/Downloa, ~/Download

then at ~/Downloads it works OK again.

Thanks

It looks like the algorithm abruptly places a 

 /*.*

after the search string (e.g. in the middle of the word).

E.g. if searching in the middle of the word 'mac' the search string becomes


ma/*.*

and that is not going to find anything.

it should not place the '/' thus,
but e.g.

ma*.*

See screenshot:
