zsh 2.5.03 question/problem

[Drew Justin Asson <asson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just started using zsh 2.5.03.  I was using 2.3.1.  One thing that
has changed that I can't seem to find any documenation about is the
expansion of parameters on the command line.  Under 2.3.1, if I had
done this in my .zshrc:

  export props='/usr/local/lib/proposals/'

and then on the command line:

  > cd $pr<TAB>

I would get:

 cd $props/

Note that it would put the slash in and no spaces after the slash.
Under 2.5.03, with the same .zshrc line, and doing:

 > cd $pr<TAB>

I now get:

 cd $props<space>

The thing that bothers me is that I often use these variables as
pointers to top level directories and then naviagate from there.  Some
of the names can be long, and thus I often try to do completion on
them.  However, with the space, I have to backspace, insert a slash,
and then continue.

Is this something that has changed from 2.3.1 to 2.5.03?  Is this a
bug?  If not, is there some option (I've looked at many of them, as
well as having someone else (a more experienced zsh user) look and I
can't seem to find anything.)?

Any information would be appreciated.  I've enclosed the report from the
'reporter' script at the end of this message.

Thanks.

Drew
