This is reproducible with any terminal emulator (e.g. konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm)

On a desktop:
1) Launch the terminal emulator
2) Type e.g. "a"
3) Press "Tab" for auto-completion
4) Resize the emulator window
5) Press "Tab" again

I would say there could be something wrong in some upstream project (e.g. bash).

This report should be considered "Invalid" for terminal-app (the problem exists in another project), however it's true that it's much easier to trigger this bug on terminal-app, since:

 * The on-screen keyboard causes an update of the terminal widget size any time it's shown/hidden.
 * The "Tab" key is emulated by a single-tap gesture, which is often activated by mistake.

I will look on the net for further informations on this bug. Anyway, I think it's worth to discuss about some improvement in the UX, in order to make harder to encounter the issue.
