Bug: remember/refiling filing target

[Wanrong Lin]

Hi,

There seems to be a bug in remember/refiling filing target 
auto-completion prompt, if the target heading text has a forward slash 
"/". For example, if my filing target is the following:

* TODO A/B switch needs to be fixed

With M-x org-refile, when I press "TAB" in the mini-buffer to bring up 
the filing target list, the above target shows up as "A/", all text 
after the forward slash is cut out. However, the actual auto-completion 
(by pressing "A/" and TAB) does work.

I am using org 6.05b on Emacs 22.2, my refiling config is:

(setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 2))))
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path t)

Thanks  a lot if someone can take a look of it.

I can reproduce the bug, but I don't know an easy way how to fix it.....

Hi Wanrong,

still, this is a difficult bug to fix, because my completion function  
keeps the outline path internally as a string.

What I have done now is that during completion, any "/" in the  
headlines will be modified to "\".  This is a bit annoying in the case  
when you actually need to type that character to move forward with  
completion.  However, most of the time this is not needed, and this  
trick makes sure that the completion is not interrupted at the wrong  
location in the string.
