It reads a file name in fact, and because partial completion is on, when I
press TAB after /g/e I expect to see /gnu/emacs, because in the root of my
filesystem the only one directory that starts with 'g' is gnu, and the only
dir. from /gnu is emacs et cetera.
I do not think that such a feature ever existed, so I think this is not a bug,
just a missing feature.
