Yes, it does. Readline completion replaces the word on which completion is attempted with the longest common prefix of the matches. The show-all-if-ambiguous option doesn't change that behavior; it just causes the possible completions to be listed instead of ringing the bell. I will take a look and see what can be done, but this behavior is fairly basic. Chet -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer Live Strong. No day but today.
