bor@itsrm2% cd /opt/openFT/desktop/
Completing directory
TclTk/    desktop/  ft/       samples/  scripts/

(menu selection is active and current item is `desktop'); now I press
`/', that is bound to accept-and-infer-next-history

bor@itsrm2% cd /opt/openFT/desktop/
Completing `directory'

now press TAB

bor@itsrm2% cd
Completing `directory'

The reason is most probably permissions:

bor@itsrm2% l /opt/openFT/desktop
ls: Cannot access directory /opt/openFT/desktop: Permission denied

but should not Zsh handle it more gracefully?
