Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

When using tab line completion in natty, the function has stopped working as normal and has become very cumbersome and annoying. For example when typing "cat /et" and pressing tab it will complete to "/etc " but adds a space instead of adding a "/" and waiting for further directory or file input. This is wrong and has never been that way and causes excessive typing and backspacing which goes completely against the point of tab line completion.

Seem to occur with commands like cat but not commands like cd. Please revert to normal expected fucntionality
