Bug Description
Using Karmic alpha 4
In certain folders I can not make use of auto-completion tab when doing a cd in bash
I got the path "Desktop/Studies\ @\ UU/Artificial\ Intelligence/
If I try to make a cd in one go to "Assignment\ 2/", tab does nothing for Desktop/Studies\ @\ UU/ even if I help out by writing "Art".
However if I enter "Desktop/Studies\ @\ UU/", tab works again until I try to enter Assignments/
After I enter Assignments, tab auto completes "Assignment" but further pressing tab does not bring me a list of possibilities.
