opening files with path specified

[davehohl]

If I hit escape and then type 'e' followed by part of a file name in the command line a box pops up with a list of files that matches the name I have typed.  SE usually shows multiple versions of the same file -- one without a path and one with.  If I use the up/down arrows to select a file without a path, it opens fine.  But if I select one with a path name, SE seems to get confused by the spaces in the path name and tries to open up files that do not exist.  For example, if the file I select is C:\Documents and Settings\something, SE creates and opens files named "C:\Documents" and "and".  This is not the behavior I would have expected.  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I am running SE 14.0.2.2 on Windows XP.

When I tried that, the completions that had spaces in the path were surrounded by quotes (see picture). The e command expects that the next argument is a filename or path. If the path contains spaces and is not surrounded by quotes, then part of the path is interpreted as the next argument.

I tested on the same version and platform.

Well, for some reason on my system SE does not include the quotation marks around the file name if the path has blanks.  Interestingly, when it shows a file name that has blanks in it, but without a path, it does put the quotation marks around it.  Oh well, it's not that big a deal.  I'll just have to avoid picking the names with paths.
