Autocompletion does not work correctly with special signs

[David Georg Reichelt]

The autocompletion of the terminal does not work correct for some special signs, e.g. if I edit a file by

    vim "A123\$B123#<test>_asd"

it is not possible to get it for autocompletion afterwards.

If I enter cat `A123\$B123#` and then hit tab two times, the file is display correctly, but if I then enter `<` and hit tab, it is completed to cat `A123\$B123#<A123\$B123#\<test\>_asd` which does not exist (so the full file is appended after `<`, not only the additional part.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with newest updates, including gnome-terminal 3.28.2.

Autocompletion is done by the shell and its configs, not by the terminal.

The bug only happens if a file with an equal prefix exists, e.g. after `vim 'A123$B123#asdasd'`.

I am using bash, but the problem also happens in zsh if I enter `A123\$B123\#`, hit tab, enter `<` and than hit tab again. It does not happen in zsh if I hit tab again and again and it switches between all files in the folder.
