Bug Description
This is a regression in 14.04 LTS recreating #590829, I think its been broken by a recent update.
I've had to disable the bash-completion completely and just use the built-in completion.
Single quote is a really common character in my file names.
Effect is that a \' appended disappears when tab is pressed.
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release: 14.04
ii bash-completion 1:2.1-4 all programmable completion for the bash shell
