If I'm not completely mistaken, there was a reply, but maybe that
wasn't CC'ed to you?

I hope many people have seen this (sorry, couldn't resist ;-).
It's intentional and controlled by the AUTO_REMOVE_SLASH option. If it
is set, several of the automatically added suffixes (such as the `/'
after directory names) are removed when the next character type
seperates the completed string from the next word (i.e. if you type a
character such as space, `;', etc.).

Hello:
I reported this earlier but received no response on this. When I use tab
to complete, it looks like the command-line is off by one character. So,
typing the very next character after <tab> starts the output one character
by the cursor. It's especially visible if I tab complete a directory. The
string ends in '/', and it gets wiped out when I type the next character.
Has anyone else seen this?
This is on AIX 4.1.X.
Thanks,
-Clint
