2007-07-03 01:28:23 Yuki Izumi description Binary package hint: bash If two (or more) files have the same prefix that ends in a quote (double, single, take your pick), or some other escapable character (back-slash is my test case), but then something else, tab completion will fail! Here's how to reproduce: 1. Run: touch "1'1 1" "1'2 2" 2. Type: rm 1\' 3. Attempt to tab complete. bash will suggest the two files. 4. Give a hint by entering 1. 5. Attempt to tab complete again. bash is dumb-founded. This occurs with single- and double-quotes, and backslashes. It does *not* happen with spaces. I haven't tested any other cases. This happens on feisty and gutsy so far.

Checked as problematic on feisty and gutsy.
