Save To File: tab completion

[Vinh Nguyen]

dear conkeror list,

when selecting a location to save your file, does tab completion give
u a space after a directory?  for example, suppose i save a file
temp.zip, and the minibuffer shows:
save to file: /Users/vinh/temp.zip

if i move my cursor to right before the file name temp.zip, and type
in a partial directory name, say 'Down' for 'Downloads', and hit tab,
conkeror suggests:
/Users/vinh/Downloads temp.zip

i was wondering whether this only occurs on my mac os x?  are there
any plans to make it show /Users/vinh/Downloads/temp.zip without the
additional space and with the added '/'?  in every directory i hit tab
with i have to hit backspace and add '/', and then type more directory
and repeat this process -- not the usual tab completion im used to in
emacs or bash.

This does not happen on only Mac OS X. I have had this issue as well
and I really think the best thing would be to add '/' instead of a
space character.
