Hi,
I found some strange behaviour in Acme.
Everytime I right sweep '/' in Acme, a new window gets opened listing =
the files and subdirectories under root directory.
However, if I do it for, say '/sys', it opens a new window for '/sys' =
directory if it doesnt exist, else it points to the existing window for =
'/sys'.
Bug? Or am I missing something?
Regards
dharani

That seems consistent with my expectation of its behaviour.
If you're trying to search for something in the doc by prepending
a / (really only useful for regexps) you'll have to use Edit.
Otherwise, drop the slash.
Cheers,
Sam

Sam,
I am not sure if I explained the problem properly. My concern is that when I
right sweep '/', say 5 times, I get five different windows displaying the
contents of root directory, whereas when I right sweep, say '/sys', it opens
only one window for '/sys' and points me to the same window thereafter.
Now, is this what you are talking about?

dharani
