- if i do a C-x C-f (M-x find-file) and type:
-
- Find file: $SRC<space>
-
- i would expect to see (assuming "setenv SRC /usr/project/src"):
-
- Find file: /usr/project/src/
-
- but instead i get:
-
- Find file: /
-
- BUT if i do:
-
- Find file: $SRC/foo.c
-
- All works fine, i edit file /usr/project/src/foo.c
-
- So, substitute-in-file-name works ok but somewhere something is getting clipped.
- Any ideas.... i'm seeing this with 18.55.
