Message 161812 - Python tracker
The "open_completions" method in AutoComplete.py is where the bug exists. When mode == COMPLETE_FILES, the code searches for characters within the ASCII set, plus a few others contained in FILENAME_CHARS. Attached is a patch to also include characters beyond the ASCII set during the backward search. If anyone knows of a better technique, please comment. Fransisco, thanks for reporting this issue. If you find more, please let us know.
