Thank you for your report.
I added this text to the above entry:
If you want the old behavior back, put these two key bindings to your
~/.emacs init file:
(define-key minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map
" " 'minibuffer-complete-word)
(define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-filename-map
" " 'minibuffer-complete-word)
Does it give you enough information now? Did the recipe work for you?
