This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
Currently C-x C-f tab and C-x b tab bring up a completions window.
That's great but 99% of the time the completion window content is hidden
by another split screen. ie the completion window seems to have no
knowledge of the available display space. This is a time waster.
I would like to see a day when I hit C-x C-f tab and see a list of the
files in the directory rather than an arrow pointing to files under
the split screen.
Thanks
Rob
