no subdir path completion in current dir, if stub not starting with './'

[yury_t]

If completion stub isn't starting with './', one can't complete it (ALT+TAB) to subdir path.

So, for subdir 'abc', the stub './a' completes correctly, 'a' doesn't (also, with no other continuation variants available, the stub in prompt is cleared)

Is this an intended change of behaviour? I seem to have got used to such completions working with no './' required.

so...
i have follow utility 'base64', 'basename', 'bash' and subdir named - 'bassis123'

when i try complete 'bass' then i get 'bassis123/'. (correct)
when i try complete 'bas' i see 'base64', 'basename', 'bash' in completion window without 'bassis123/' (incorrect?)

Correct. You should reread man page.

Attempt to perform completion on the text before current position. MC attempts completion treating the text as variable (if the text begins with $), username (if the text begins with ~), hostname (if the text begins with @) or command (if you are on the command line in the position where you might type a command, possible completions then include shell reserved words and shell built-in commands as well) in turn. If none of these matches, filename completion is attempted.

So, if you have 'base64', 'basename', 'bash', you don't have 'bassis123/' in completion results.
