Description
It seems that Micro has problems when opening files that are in folders with a space in their name.
For example, there are two files:
/home/user/Downloads/gistfile1.txt
/home/user/Downloads/gist file/gistfile1.txt
In the ctrl-o dialogue, I start typing ~/Downloads/g then press tab - and Micro correctly suggests two options, the file and the folder.
But when I type ~/Downloads/gist (with a space in the end), Micro suggests /home/user/Downloads/gist .Xauthority This file .Xauthority is not in the Downloads folder.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the ctrl-o dialogue with the two Downloads paths shown, especially the folder containing a space. Trace the path-completion entry point used after typing ~/Downloads/gist ; done means completion stays within the intended folder and correctly handles paths containing spaces.
