TSE: Issue: Linux: non-WSL: Ubuntu: Expansion of ~/Downloads does not work as expected

[knud van eeden]

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*.*
