Emacs TRAMP - find-file can't enter user

I've recently upgrading to emacs 24.5 with TRAMP 2.2.12.

I use plink to access files on a remote server and am having trouble using the ampersand syntax shortcut to enter a different user than my default.

Problem

Executing: 

'C-x C-f' /user@server:

After entering '@', I get the error: 

"Opening directory: no such file or directory d:/user@".

It appears that find-file ignores that I am trying to send this input to plink. All works fine without specifying the user.

Solution

  • Are you using ido-mode? If so, then it's a bug I've previously reported.
