(this fills the minibuffer out to about 80 chars with "Rename /usr/src/local/gnuemacs/src/something.c to: /usr/src/local/gnuemacs/sr" unfortunately, when it wraps it doesn't print any chars, so you can't see what you are typing. The problem is you can't make use of the spiffy completion features anymore. Nor can you see if you made a mistake. This is the most bothersome bug to me in 16.60. Perhaps because I use rename-file a lot.
