This patch (I suspect it is this one) disabled the use of '/' in filenames on windows when using filename completion. 'c:\ <wait, tab, ^space bring up box> in 3.2.3 and 3.3.0> (If there is no 'r' prefix, it really should require '\\' to be safe.) "c:/ ditto for 3.2.3. In 3.3.0, (and, I presume, 3.2.4 if not changed) tab inserts spaces to next tab stop, while ^space is ignored. Since using '/' is recommended over unsafe '\', this is an undesireable regression.
