No. I simply typed in part of the file name and hit

its a bug - but I suspect it might be mswindows specific since there
appears to be some wierdness with msw selections.
Yes. That example works fine for me.

I remember reporting something similar again 19.12 or so :)
The code that sets major modes (and indirectly fires off font-lock) is
twisted at best. Everything gets run at least twice, but there is
very careful dance done to ensure some things don't get run twice.
