[clue-tech] failure to complete

[David L. Willson]

Hmm...  I can't get auto-complete to work, sometimes, on some things.  For example:

dlwillson at aurora:~/Desktop$ ls -l
total 30644
-rw-r--r-- 1 dlwillson dlwillson 13914332 2008-02-28 13:26 all-log
-rw-r--r-- 1 dlwillson dlwillson 17371349 2008-02-28 13:25 all-xml
drwxr-xr-x 2 dlwillson dlwillson     4096 2008-02-28 14:00 AuditResults
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dlwillson dlwillson        5 2008-02-27 13:59 data -> /data
-rw-r--r-- 1 dlw<...>42 2008-02-28 14:09 inventory-software-title-results
dlwillson at aurora:~/Desktop$ oocalc all

Now, I'm tabbing like a monkey, and getting no list, so I edit 'all' to 'invent' and tab
like mad again, but still no completion.  I have noticed this 'failure to complete' with
directories under /media, but I thought it was some special property of those folders,
or an explicit suppression.  There's no such thing going on with these files, they're
brand new...

Any ideas?
