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!
On Windows NT 4.0 (presumably all MS-Windows systems), Dired is not
reusing buffers properly. The problem appears to be due to Dired
treating the directory name as case sensitive whereas MS-Windows is
case insensitive. Therefore, if you edit the same directory, but
specify the name once in upper case and once in lower case (or some
combination thereof), Dired will assume it's two different directories
and create new buffers for the directory.
Perhaps read-file-name is not properly canonicalizing the directory
name for Windows (or case insensitive) platforms?
